Multi-vehicle accidents across U.S. leave injuries, one dead

A three-car crash in Laverton North resulted in the death of a passenger in a Ford Ranger, which collided with a Mitsubishi before hitting a traffic light pole and a stationary Volkswagen. The driver of the Ranger was hospitalized with serious injuries, while the other drivers involved were unhurt. In Killeen, Texas, a six-car pile-up occurred when a GMC pickup truck, driven by an intoxicated motorist, ran a red light, leading to multiple collisions and reported injuries. Meanwhile, a minor multi-vehicle accident in Atchison County, Missouri, involved a Jeep striking a box truck, resulting in one person with minor injuries. Emergency services are urging witnesses with dashcam footage of the Laverton North incident to come forward. The incidents highlight the ongoing concerns regarding road safety and the number of fatalities reported in Victoria, which has already surpassed last year's figures.
