In less than 24 hours, four people have died on Victorian roads and a man is fighting for his life after three separate crashes.
The latest crash, a head-on at Princetown in the state's southwest, has left a female passenger dead while the driver was flown to The Alfred hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the second car, its only occupant, suffered minor injuries in the crash just after 1pm on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, disaster victim identification experts will determine the identities of two people killed in a fiery crash at Keilor East early on Wednesday morning.
Emergency crews were called to the EJ Whitten Bridge after a car lost control, ploughed through a guard rail just before the bridge and plunged into a steep valley, bursting into flames.
Police say the crash may have resulted from illegal street racing.
On Tuesday night, a woman died after a car carrying four people hit a fox and crashed into trees at Buangor, near Ararat in western Victoria.
Police say a back-seat passenger, a woman in her 20s, died at the scene.
Another three people, two men in their 20s and a woman in her 30s, were treated by paramedics for minor injuries.
Victoria's road toll has risen to 14, two fewer than at the same time last year.
