Sharing Shepparton

Shepparton’s streets lit up with blue and red disco lights recently – not from a party, but from cops pulling over more cooked drivers than a Bunnings sausage sizzle.

Across four frosty nights, local police from Shepparton, Mooroopna, and the Highway Patrol hit the roads, targeting boozed-up bellends, cooked units, and blokes who reckon a licence is just a suggestion.

And boy, they didn’t disappoint. Out of just 19 drug tests, two drivers tested positive.

One was a Mooroopna bloke aged in his late 40s, who managed to have both m**h and w**d in his system. He scored a $593 fine and a six-month sit-out.

Then came Cobram’s contribution – an unlicensed genius who tested positive for ice and had fake number plates. His car got impounded, and he’ll too be facing court.

Not to be outdone, three cheeky drink drivers were also caught out. One of them even blew double the legal limit, with Shepp cops saying they’ll be back at it again soon.

Tragedy struck in Shepparton on Thursday night, as Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives continue to piece together the events leading to a devastating fatal crash.

Just before 11pm, a green Ford Falcon sedan was heading south along Wyndham Street when it struck a pedestrian near the intersection of Rea Street. By the time help showed up, it was already too late – death had beaten them to it.

The pedestrian – a man believed to be in his 30s – died at the scene. As of Friday night, his identity remained unconfirmed. The driver, a man in his mid-20s from Tatura, immediately stopped and remained at the scene. He was taken to hospital under police guard.

Police have since interviewed him and released him pending further enquiries, as investigators work to unravel exactly what occurred. They’re urging anyone who witnessed the Ford Falcon’s movements – or those of the pedestrian – to come forward.

Agriculture Victoria veterinarians and animal health staff are responding to the detection of anthrax on a property in the Shepparton region – where five cows have died.

Following the report last week, the property was quarantined, and all cows on the affected property have been injected. Neighbouring properties have also been informed.

Victoria's Chief Veterinary Officer, Graeme Cooke, said due to early reporting by the impacted farmer and veterinarians, swift action was able to reduce the likelihood of the detection impacting more cows.
