POLICE are investigating the circumstances surrounding a fatal car crash at Montrose last Thursday night.
Police believe the car left Swansea Road and hit a tree about 10.15pm.
The driver, a 21-year-old woman from Mt Evelyn, sustained injuries to her head and chest.
But a 21-year male passenger in the car, also from Mt Evelyn, died at the Royal Melbourne Hospital early Friday morning.
Police want to speak to anyone who may have seen a faded blue sedan with P plates in the area at the time.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Drunken youths
SERGEANT Alan Fincher of Monbulk police has called for parents to take control of their children after more than 100 drunken youths converged on Main Street on in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Sgt Fincher said after a nearby party had ended, more than 100 youths at various stages of intoxication were hanging around in the main street of Monbulk.
“Monbulk had to call in nearby stations for help to disperse the youths,” he said.
Sgt Fincher said there were kids as young as 13 years of age intoxicated in the street, and believes their parents might not have had any idea where they were or what they were doing.
He said the police provided services for safe party planning, but were not a ‘baby sitting service’.
