Sadly, I was driving home yesterday from a short break in Albury when I passed the wreckage from a tragic car accident on the Hume Highway.
Four young men in a car headed north on the Hume are said to have crashed into a truck, and all four men were killed instantly.
Please take care on our roads, especially now that we approach the holiday period.

Yass crash victims yet to be identified
New South Wales police are still trying to formally identify four people killed in a crash on the Hume Highway near Yass yesterday.
Witnesses to the accident say a car crossed the median strip to the wrong side of the road and crashed head-on into a truck just before 11:00am AEDT.
The four men in the car - who are believed to be in their 20s - were killed instantly.
The truck driver has been treated for shock and minor injuries.
The highway reopened last night after being closed for most of the day.
Police are investigating whether speed was a factor in the accident. They have confirmed the car was registered in New South Wales.
The accident brings the NSW road toll to 409 for the year - 93 more than the entire total for 2008.
Inspector Hamish East says with the Christmas season approaching, motorists need to take extra care on the roads.
"This is a tragedy and it highlights the need to drive safely and to drive within our road rules and the conditions that exist at the time," he said.
