FFS, another motor killing in Coburg, that's 4 this year. That's an 800% increase in motor killings over the 15yr long term average of 1 every 2 yrs.

This intersection is notorious for being dangerous and scary even though it's an intersection between two roads with a signed speed limit of 40km/h.

"Emergency services were called to reports of three cars colliding at the intersection of Gaffney st and Landells Rd about 7.15pm on 28 August 2025.

It is believed a Ford Falcon was travelling at a fast rate of speed along Gaffney Street when it collided with a BMW 320Ci and Toyota Corolla.

The driver of the BMW, a 66-year-old Pascoe Vale woman, was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries where she remains in a critical condition.

The driver and passenger of the Ford Falcon fled the scene and investigators are urging them to come forward."

I went past this area on my way home 30mins after it happened, the police had blocked off the road, so I didn't know what had happened.

This is the second time this year a person has been killed crossing Moreland Rd.

A person hit by a car 60km/h has very little chance of survival and no chance of not receiving life altering injuries.
