Two teens die in Vic road accidents

A teenage girl has died in hospital after she was hit by a taxi in Melbourne on Saturday night.

Two Victorian teenagers have died in hospital following two separate road accidents.

An 18-year-old man died in hospital on Saturday after the car he was driving rolled down an embankment in Grand Ridge on Friday night.

Three 18-year-old passengers, two men and a woman, were also injured in the crash.

In a separate incident, a 17-year-old girl was running across the road in Northcote on Saturday night when she was hit by a taxi, police say.

She was taken to hospital in a critical condition but died on Sunday.

Victoria's road toll now stands at 53 - nine more than for the same period last year.
