2 Singaporeans died in Aussie crash

Singaporean tourists who believe they can fit in a long trip taking in the Great Ocean Road in a day are putting themselves at risk, according to tourism authorities. A girl lost her 34-year-old aunt and her 62-year-old grandfather in the accident. Both died at the scene. The accident happened at about 10.30am local time (8.55am Singapore time). There were two survivors in the crash. They were discharged on Friday afternoon. The five-year-old girl and her 43-year-old father had obtained cuts when their van went off the road and overturned on Thursday morning in the state of Victoria. They were part of a family of six Singaporeans on their way to a mountain range west of Melbourne, the state capital, when tragedy struck. Their identities remain unknown.The van, which was travelling on a country road, is believed to have drifted onto gravel before veering to the other side of the road, rolling several times and landing on its roof.

I feel sympathatic for the girl who lost her aunt and her grandfather. This accident was believed to be caused by the inexperience of the driver driving on the gravel. Australians were also stunned by this incident. Aussies believe that the route that the Singaporeans take was somewhat unusual.
