Default Fatal in Melbourne involving BA GT
Did anyone see it on the news a few days ago? Haven't seen any posts on here.

Hope it wasn't a forum member.

It appeared to be a black GT-P, 23 year old died at the scene. He had been friends with police who were in attendance apparently.

The car was wrapped around a tree. Happened in Altona.

I have a feeling you have your stories mixed up a bit, there was another accident that a cop was called to and he found his 17 year old son (who was a passenger) dead in the car

A MAN died last night in a vehicle crash in Melbourne's south-west, police say.

The collision happened shortly after 7pm yesterday on Victoria St near the intersection with Balaclava Ave at Altona Meadows, police said.

Ambulance officers attended the crash but were unable to revive the 23-year-old who died at the scene.

Police investigators established a crime scene and will prepare a report for the coroner.

The dad cop thing was in Glen Innes NSW about 15 km east of New England Highway
very tragic to lose any of our kids and a wish from us at TQT for guys to keep it safe as you can out there on the road and try to keep the speed to the track, where only your drive and wallet will get bent.
cheers and be safe

The accident involving the father was with 17 year olds, the driver on his Ls and the passengers not qualified to be supervising drivers.
That crash was also a Commodore.

This one is a 23 year old in a GT. Different developments.
