Benalla Highway Patrol officers are investigating a fatal collision in Violet Town on Friday afternoon (Apr. 17).
Emergency services were called to the Hume Fwy near Harrys Creek Rd following report a B-double truck was involved in a collision just before 1.30pm.

Four occupants inside the car were all taken to hospital for observation.
Exact circumstances surrounding the collision are yet to be established and an investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
