Kim O’KEEFFE (Shepparton) (14:59): (126) My question is to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety. On 20 April we had a horrific accident at the intersection of Labuan Road and the Murray Valley Highway in which a truck and two cars were involved. Tragically, the accident claimed the lives of five people. My condolences go to the families and friends of the deceased; my thoughts are with them, the truck driver, the community and the emergency responders as we all deal with this enormous loss and tragic event. This is a very dangerous intersection, with a rise before the intersection from an old railway line only a very short distance from the intersection. This rise blocks visibility of the intersection ahead, resulting in vehicles not getting enough warning that there is a ‘Give way’ sign and that there is a major intersection ahead. Will the minister take the steps necessary to make this intersection safe as a matter or urgency?
