POSTED ON November 8, 2023 •   GLOBAL NEWS      BY Segun Adewole
A shocking and tragic hit-and-run incident in Melbourne has claimed at least one life, leaving several people injured and prompting the arrest of the suspected driver. Dramatic footage shared widely online captures the chaos and immediate aftermath of the incident, with flashing blue and red emergency lights illuminating a busy street. In the video, paramedics can be seen attending to a woman lying on the road. According to eyewitnesses, the incident unfolded as a car rammed into pedestrians in front of a horrified crowd of onlookers. The sheer horror of the scene was further accentuated by a visible splattering of blood on the white road markings near one of the victims. Reports indicate that the car plowed through a tram stop at the intersection of Bourke Street and Russell Street, striking up to three people. Social media images from the scene reveal the aftermath of the crash, with two injured individuals requiring immediate medical attention outside a nearby McDonald's restaurant. Authorities in Victoria issued a statement, confirming the closure of the intersection of Bourke Street and Russell Street in Melbourne's central business district (CBD) due to the ongoing emergency response. As investigations into this tragic hit-and-run continue, Melbourne residents and the broader community are left grappling with the shock and sorrow resulting from this devastating incident.
