两名年轻妇女在忙碌的墨尔本高速公路上帮助受伤的袋鼠后,被一辆汽车撞死。
紧急服务收到了报道称,两名妇女在周四晚上7.30之后在Craigieburn的M31 Hume Freeway上撞了一辆汽车。
A 30-year-old Beveridge woman died at the scene, while a 30-year-old Thomastown woman was airlifted to hospital but died a short time later.
Assistant Commissioner for Road Policing Glenn Weir said the decision to leave a vehicle to check on injured wildlife was 'inherently dangerous'.
''从车辆造成的野生动植物被击中后,试图检查受伤的野生动植物是固有的,这正是昨晚发生的事情。”
The speed limit is 100km/hour on the Hume Highway, an 840km route that connects Melbourne and Sydney.
Wildlife welfare group Wild Animals Australia said the women had shown 'incredible compassion' to the injured kangaroo in their final moments.

'Such a令人心碎的悲剧,“社交媒体的一篇文章阅读。
'这些妇女以纯粹的善良和同情心表现出来,应该记住她们的关怀精神。我们的祈祷是与这些令人难以置信的人类的家人在一起。'
该组织敦促驾驶员在帮助动物之前先'放在安全下',然后才能完全安全或打电话给野生动植物救援热线。
驾驶员留在现场,并正在协助警察进行调查。
任何目击事件或有录像或已敦促任何信息与犯罪阻止者联系的人。
高速公路预计将在周五保持一段时间。
