Baby fights for survival after horrific crash in Melbourne

A tragic head-on collision occurred in Deer Park, Melbourne, just after midnight on Friday. The accident involved two vehicles and resulted in severe injuries to three young children, including a one-year-old baby girl who was taken to the Royal Children's Hospital due to life-threatening injuries. Another child aged 20 months and a 10-year-old girl were also injured but their conditions were reported as non-life-threatening. The adults in the same vehicle as the children, a 22-year-old woman, a 25-year-old woman, and a 27-year-old man, sustained minor injuries. In a separate vehicle involved, the driver, a 22-year-old man, was unharmed but was arrested at the scene. Investigations by the Major Collision Investigation Unit were launched promptly, and the driver is assisting police with inquiries as they gather evidence related to the circumstances of the accident. The incident has raised concerns about road safety, especially as it occurred ahead of the holiday season, prompting calls from authorities for heightened vigilance among drivers during this time.
