Thirteen people have lost their lives in accidents on Australian roads this Easter weekend following the death of a man in a single-car rollover in Victoria.
The man who was driving the car that fatally rolled at a Wangaratta intersection late on Sunday is under police guard in a local hospital with suspected non-life-threatening injuries.
Victoria Police said one of the man’s three male passengers died after the car rolled into a paddock.
The other two men are believed to be critically injured and have been airlifted to hospitals in Melbourne.
The death in Wangaratta is the latest since a devastating start to the Easter long weekend with seven deaths on Good Friday.
These included four adults who were killed in a crash in the Southern Tablelands in NSW and a woman in Tasmania who was a passenger in an MG sedan.
A 26-year-old woman has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after her car collided with the white MG.
