A woman has died following a serious three-car collision in Leongatha, Victoria, on Wednesday afternoon, 23 September 2026.
Emergency services were called to the Strzelecki Highway after a collision involving three vehicles. According to police information reported by Gippsland, the woman was travelling south on the highway when her vehicle sideswiped another car travelling in the opposite direction. Her vehicle then collided head-on with a third vehicle.
The woman died at the scene as a result of the crash. Emergency services attended the location, but she could not be saved.
The drivers of the other two vehicles also required medical attention. A woman who was driving the second vehicle and a man who was driving the third vehicle were both taken to hospital. Their injuries were reported as non-life-threatening.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision and will work to establish the sequence of events that led to the crash. Investigators typically examine the positions of the vehicles, road conditions, witness accounts and available camera or dashcam footage when determining how a serious road collision occurred.
The crash happened on the Strzelecki Highway, an important regional road connecting communities in South Gippsland. A serious collision on the highway can affect traffic movements through the area while emergency crews and investigators work at the scene.
The incident was included in Gippsland's local news briefing published on 24 September 2026, which reported several major developments across the Gippsland region.
At this stage, the available report does not establish a confirmed cause for the collision. Police investigations remain important in determining whether factors such as road conditions, vehicle movements or other circumstances contributed to the crash.
The death has added to a series of serious road incidents reported across regional Victoria. Authorities regularly remind motorists using regional highways to remain alert, maintain safe speeds and allow sufficient distance from other vehicles.
The two surviving drivers were taken to hospital for assessment and treatment. Their reported injuries were not life-threatening.
Further information may be released as investigators continue examining the crash scene and speaking with witnesses.
