A high-speed wreck in Melbourne’s western suburbs turned deadly when a roaring Ford Mustang GT plowed into an unoccupied truck on Dunmore Drive, Truganina, just after midnight Wednesday. Cops confirmed the smash happened around 1 a.m., reducing the muscle car to a mangled heap of metal and littering the road with twisted wreckage.

Two souls were in that Mustang when it met its brutal end. Tragically, the passenger didn’t make it; paramedics pronounced them dead on arrival. The driver? Lucky to escape with minor injuries, though they were rushed to hospital for checks. Photos from the grisly scene reveal that flashy orange beast ripped to shreds, chunks of its frame—like part of the roof—tossed meters away like scrap.
Weirdly, the truck barely looked touched, even as the Mustang lay obliterated. Police are digging deep into what went wrong, begging anyone with dashcam footage or tips to step up.
Let’s talk about the car. This wasn’t just any ride—it was a 5.0-liter V8 monster, packing 339 kilowatts under the hood, one of the hottest performance cars Aussies can buy. Used models still fetch around $65K, and gearheads swear by ‘em. But last night, power met tragedy.
Victoria’s road toll keeps climbing—134 lives lost this year already, up from 119 in the same stretch last year. Cops are hammering the message: slow down, especially when you’re behind the wheel of something built for speed. As for what really happened in Truganina? That’s still anyone’s guess.
