Assault investigated AN assault in St Kilda is being investigated by police. Just after 8pm, 13 March, a 41-yearold man was assaulted while standing outside a licensed premise on the corner of Grey and Barkly streets. A conversation between the victim and two unknown men turned physi-
cal. Police say the victim pushed one of the men away, and that the man then struck him in the face. The victim fell back and his head hit the ground. The offender was wearing a black long sleeve top and shorts. He and the other man left south on Barkly Street. An image of a man police wish to
speak to has been released (below). Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Man dies in crash A MAN died in a three-vehicle collision at Frankston South, Friday 3 April. He was the driver of a van which was extensively damaged when it hit a four-wheel-drive causing it to crash into a truck north-bound on Peninsula Link, near Robinsons Road, about 6.40am. The men driving the grey fourwheel-drive and the truck, both sole occupants, were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Drivers were advised to avoid Peninsula Link where possible. Earlier, five cars were involved in a nose-to-tail south-bound on Peninsula Link near the Stony Point railway bridge, 6.15am, Friday 3 April. Sergeant Bruce Buchan, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the first car had “appeared to come to a complete stop” while heading south in the right lane causing the car behind to crash into it. The driver of the second car jumped out and ran to get a child out of the back seat while the third, fourth and fifth cars crashed into each other from behind. Debris was strewn along Peninsula Link. Three drivers were injured. One was taken to The Alfred hospital and two to Frankston Hospital. Sergeant Buchan said investigations were continuing into why the first driver appeared to stop unexpectedly. “It is a 100kph zone and stopping is extremely dangerous because, as happened, it can set off a chain reaction,” he said. Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash-cam footage of either incident to contact Crime
