Rest In Peace Josie, Cory, Abby, Shane, Cassie and Stevie-Lee 18/2/2006 profile.myspace.com It was a spontaneous and profound display of communal suffering: 600 young people and adults gathered outside Mildura Base Hospital before dawn to grieve for five teenagers who died at the scene, including a brother and sister, killed by a hit-and-run driver. Another 16 year old girl died the following day in hospital. Bringing the hit and run to 6 dead. They came in a steady flow for four hours, alerted by telephone and text messages, stricken by the news of a slaughter of four girls and two boys, aged 15 to 17, on the outskirts of the Murray River town in north-western Victoria. They were not summoned but came though a sense of natural decency, each making a personal commitment to share the pain and bewilderment and to offer each other comfort. The teenagers had just left a 16-year-old's birthday party at 9.40pm on Saturday and were on their way to another when the car sped into them on the dark, rural road. "He [the driver] was doing 100kmh plus, easily," said one witness, a teenager who asked not to be named. Police said the car missed one group but ploughed into another, sending bodies and injured across 100 metres of road. "He didn't allow for the bend, and when he began to lose control [he] over-corrected and went straight into the group walking along the side of the road," the witness said.
