A TEENAGER who died when his car slammed into a tree in Victoria’s northeast was the second fatality arising from a police pursuit in a fortnight.
Police attempted to pull over the 19-year-old NSW man for a random check on Racecourse Rd at Cobram about 9.55pm but he sped off, reaching speeds of 120km/hr in an 80km zone.
Divisional Commander Peter De Santo said the officers pursued the car but terminated the pursuit “in a matter of seconds” when the officers deemed the risk was too great and pulled over.
“Unfortunately about 1.7km from the termination point of the pursuit, the vehicle which was attempted to be intercepted was found crashed into a tree and the 19-year-old was deceased at the scene,” he said.
The fatality comes just two weeks after a young driver fleeing from police in Wodonga rolled his car and killed his teenage female passenger.

“It is a concern as to why young people don’t want to pull over,” Commander De Santo said.
“Police can intercept them at any time they are behind the wheel and now we’ve got two examples of where they’ve taken off, high speeds have been involved and tragic circumstances have resulted.
“This is a timely reminder that these two people we’re talking about would have been sitting around the Christmas table this week and now they’re not going to be.”
The investigation into the crash will be conducted by the Major Collision Investigation Unit and overseen by the Ethical Standards Department.
Police are also investigating the seventh motorcyclist death on Victoria’s roads this month.
The man, believed to be in his 30s, was found by a passing motorist around 8.50am today on Maffra-Briagalong Rd, approximately 3 kilometres north of Maffra.
The rider appeared to have lost control, struck a tree and died at the scene.
Police will prepare reports for the coroner on both deaths.
