A truck allegedly veered from the Princes Highway into a Tower Hill home on Friday morning.
An elderly couple were killed in their bedroom when a truck veered off a highway and smashed into a home in Victoria’s south-west.
The truck driver, a 70-year-old Portland man, was taken to Warrnambool Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Shortly after midday on Friday, Hill said investigators were yet to speak with him. “I can’t say that they haven’t washed off any speed during that 200 metres , but clearly they haven’t washed off what you would expect to be all of the speed,” Hill said.He added that police would investigate whether the truck driver had a medical episode and would keep “an open mind”.
