Third victim of horror crash near Hamilton named
The third victim who lost his life in a horrific crash in Victoria’s southwest has been identified as 17-year-old Lucus Garzoli.
Lucus’ Facebook account was filled with images of decked-out cars, describing himself as a “driving” enthusiast alongside his hobbies of playing video games and going to the gym.
“You only live once so make it a good f---ing life,” his Facebook intro read.
The revelation came on Monday after tributes began appearing online for two of the other victims, who had already been named.
The identity of the fourth person killed in the crash at Bochara, near Hamilton, is not yet known, though it is believed she is a teenage girl.
The sole survivor of the crash, a girl, 17, was rushed to hospital with critical injuries to her upper body.
Some of the teens are believed to be students at Hamilton’s Baimbridge College.
Loved ones of Lucus took to Facebook to pay their respects to the young teen.
“Lucus was a beautiful boy we will always forever cherish the moments we spent with him,” one person wrote.
Lyn Lucas mourned her “gorgeous grandson”.
“I will miss that beautiful face,” she said.
The other teenage boy who died in the collision had been identified earlier as 17-yearold Joshua Elmes, believed to be an army cadet like Lucas.
A 31-year-old mother, Alicia Montebello, was named as another victim in the crash.
Police believe the vehicle was travelling at an “exceptionally high speed” along a narrow road on Saturday morning before the driver lost control of the car, crashing it into a tree.
