Tragic news out of Stawell – a bloke has died in hospital following a collision earlier this month, when emergency services rushed to Horsham Road after a car collided with a truck.

The driver and sole occupant of the car, a man from Grovedale in his mid-80s, was taken to hospital for observation. Despite the best efforts of medical staff, he sadly passed away yesterday.

The truck driver, a South Australian man in his early 30s, was uninjured and remained at the Western Highway scene as police began their investigation.

Detectives are now working to uncover the exact cause of the crash and are urging anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have dashcam footage, to come forward.

Sending heartfelt thoughts to the man's family, friends, and everyone affected by this heartbreaking loss. 💔

Big shoutout to Bonnie – an absolute weapon of an apprentice smashing goals at Stawell Gold Mines while training in engineering at Federation TAFE in Ballarat! 🔧💪

Bonnie's diving head-first into the world of welding, and she’s loving every minute of it. Growing up with three brothers? Yeah, that prepped her well for holding her own in a male-dominated trade.

“I like being able to prove that even though I’m a woman, I can still do what they call a ‘man’s job’. I’m breaking that stereotype,” she says – and she certainly is!

Keep welding, grinding and breaking barriers, Bonnie – you’re showing the next generation of lady tradies how it’s done! 👏🔥
