Crash deliberate

-

VICTORIAN police believe a man may have deliberate­ly driven his car into a petrol tanker, causing the fiery crash that killed him. The 49-year-old Hastings man driving the Mercedes was killed, but the tanker driver escaped with only minor cuts and grazes when the car crossed onto the wrong side of the road in Tyabb on Thursday night. The tanker, carrying LPG and petrol, caught fire but the main tank was not breached. About 20 tonnes of LPG was decanted from the stricken tanker before police examined the scene.
