Second person dies after car crashes into playground
The trio was walking on a footpath in suburban Wantirna South, in Melbourne's east, on Thursday when a 91-year-old driver lost control of her car.
The Toyota Yaris mounted a footpath before hurtling down a hill and smashing through a fence and into a bench.
The woman, 59, died at the scene while the man, 60, was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
A two-year-old boy was seriously injured but his condition had been stabilised in hospital on Friday.
Police said late on Saturday the 60-year-old man had died from his injuries.
Investigators, who are yet to interview the elderly driver, will assess whether speed was a contributing factor.
The incident has prompted the state government to consider previous calls for older people to prove they are fit to drive, in line with rules in other states.
The crash happened during the first week of Victorian school holidays, bringing the state's road toll to 14 in seven days.
Police have appealed to anyone who witnessed the incident or who has dashcam footage to come forward.
A second person has died after a car ploughed into three people as police wait to speak to an elderly driver.

‘Consider this a warning': Disturbing video shows anti-Israel group's chilling threat to Victorian business workers
Disturbing footage revealed shows an anonymous masked figure threatening workers at a Victorian business which was firebombed and sprayed with anti-Semitic messages just weeks prior. An anonymous 'cell' which claimed responsibility after a firebombing in Melbourne have released a video issuing a 'serious threat' to staff at a Victorian machining manufacturer. The video shows a masked figure dressed in all black addressing workers at Lovitt Technologies, less than a few weeks after three cars were set on fire and graffitied with anti-Semitic messages outside the business. 'Let there be no illusions as to what this was,' the figure said. 'This was not an accident nor thoughtless vandalism; this is a clear and serious threat.' The figure in the video says Lovitt Technologies workers have watched on as Israel 'accelerated genocide' in Gaza, and addresses 'oppression, ethnic cleansing and murder' of Indigenous Australians. 'Every worker in this supply chain is complicit,' the person said. 'You have had years to contemplate the consequences of your actions.' 'We will decide your fate, as you have decided the fate of millions.' The person goes on to reveal terrifying information held by members of the anonymous group. 'For the past few months we have been closely watching you,' the figure said. — Australian Jewish Association (@AustralianJA) July 13, 2025 'We have your addresses.' 'Stop arming Israel, or else…' Further along, the masked figure encourages others to take action using fire starters. 'Be mindful of fingerprints and DNA,' the person said. 'Every colony will burn, land back and liberation will grow from their ashes.' 'Death to Israel, death to Australia, death to America.' Australian Jewish Association chief executive Robert Gregory said the video is a 'deeply troubling escalation,' and it is only a matter of time before someone is physically harmed. 'This is a deeply troubling escalation and a clear incitement to domestic terrorism,' he said. 'Authorities must act urgently – before someone is seriously harmed or killed.' A Victoria Police spokesperson said the video was being reviewed, and anyone with information is urged to come forward. "Investigators are aware of a video circulating where a group has claimed responsibility for the incident," they said. "The video is being reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation." Sky News Australia has contacted Lovitt Technologies for comment.

Killer who struck elderly man could be out in two years
A killer could be out of jail within two years after admitting he crashed into an elderly man and left him to die on the side of the road. Anthony Costanzo, 35, appeared to hold back tears and then smiled at his supporters after Victorian Supreme Court Justice Rita Incerti sentenced him to five years behind bars. He could be released from custody in just under two years, having already served more than a year of his three-year non-parole period. Costanzo had pleaded guilty to manslaughter by criminal negligence after he fatally struck 76-year-old Peter Row in September 2023. He had been seeking retribution after Mr Row followed him and then drove into his cousin. Mr Row had been called by a night-shift worker after Costanzo's truck pulled into Hansen Technologies car park in Melbourne's east about 10.45pm on September 3. Costanzo lived in an apartment opposite and manipulated the site's boom gates to let his truck inside. Mr Row arrived about 11.20pm in his Holden and stopped behind Costanzo's truck. The truck reversed into the front of the Holden and drove out of the car park, with Mr Row following and calling triple zero to report what he believed was an attempted burglary. Costanzo drove to his mother's home and when he arrived at the property - followed by Mr Row - a group of men were gathered on the street. Two men approached Mr Row and one said "what the f*** are you going to do?" Mr Row drove into that man, who was Costanzo's cousin and he hit the bonnet before standing up again. He drove off and Costanzo pursued him in the truck without lights turned on. Mr Row, who was still on the phone to police, drove to a nearby street and stopped 400m from a corner with his car headlights on. He got out and stood near a back passenger door, before Costanzo rounded a bend and drove into him. Justice Incerti accepted Costanzo never intended to kill Mr Row and was simply unable to avoid the collision. But the judge told Costanzo he never should have begun the pursuit in the first place. "Nothing good was ever going to come of your conduct," Justice Incerti said on Monday. "It was simply stupid and reckless ... You had other options but made the worst possible choice." The judge described Costanzo's actions after Mr Row's death as callous, noting he fled without calling for help and lied to police about his involvement. Those decisions showed Costanzo was not remorseful at the time although Justice Incerti said his subsequent plea indicated a degree of remorse. Costanzo's prospects of rehabilitation could also be considered good given his age, his strong family support and the positive way he had conducted himself in prison, the judge said. He was jailed for five years with a non-parole period of three years, but Justice Incerti said the sentence did not reflect the value of Mr Row's life. Costanzo was also disqualified from driving for 24 months, starting on Monday.

Update after 2yo hurt, two killed in crash
The two-year-old boy who was seriously hurt in a collision that claimed the lives of another two people has been discharged from hospital. The boy was being walked by two people - believed to be the boy's grandparents - on Coleman Rd in Wantirna South at about 12.20pm on Thursday when they were struck by an out-of-control Toyota Yaris. The 91-year-old driver is believed to have lost control of her vehicle, striking the trio before ploughing through a fence and hitting a park bench. The Toyota Yaris hit the trio who were on a walk through Wantirna South last week. NewsWire / Nadir Kinani Credit: News Corp Australia The two adults are reportedly the grandparents of the two-year-old boy, as per The Herald Sun. The 59-year-old woman died at the scene. The 60-year-old man - understood to be the woman's partner - was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, but died on Saturday night. Two people, aged 59 and 60, were killed in the crash. NewsWire / Nadir Kinani Credit: News Corp Australia The two-year-old was rushed to the Royal Children's Hospital in a serious but stable condition. A hospital spokesman confirmed on Monday that the child had been discharged from hospital. Tracey Jean, one of the neighbours who was first on the scene and shielded the child after the crash, told reporters she had been in contact with the child's parents and confirmed he was coming home and appears healthy. 'I'll get to hold him again this afternoon,' she said per The Daily Mail. 'I've got a photo of him and he looks great. He really is OK.' Ms Jean said the child's mother rushed to the hospital to be by her father's side before he died. 'The (boy's) mum was texting me while she was in the hospital saying goodbye to her dad,' Ms Jean said. 'She told me that her dad is now with her mum.' Witnesses recounted the horrific details of the tragic crash. NewsWire / Andrew Henshaw Credit: News Corp Australia Witness Heather Webber told reporters last week she 'ran straight out' of the house after haring a 'funny, weird sound'. Outside, she discovered the 60-year-old man lying on the footpath. 'There he was, the poor chap, lying on his back,' she said, adding she was 'first one to see the … gentleman on the path'. She recalled the young boy 'clinging' to Ms Jean, who picked him up while Ms Webber's husband called paramedics. Ms Webber told reporters she was 'very disturbed' by the crash and was unable to sleep on Thursday night. The child has been discharged from hospital. NewsWire / Nadir Kinani Credit: News Corp Australia The 91-year-old driver remains in hospital with minor injuries. Victoria Police Superintendent Justin Goldsmith said last week the elderly driver was 'terribly shaken' by the incident, and taken to hospital for minor injuries. Superintendent Goldsmith said the incident was 'not believed to be intentional'. Police told NewsWire on Monday the investigation remains ongoing and they are yet to interview the elderly driver, who remains in hospital. It is unclear if the she will be charged.
