Third dies after freeway smash

The third victim of a Princes Freeway head-on collision has died in hospital.
The 19-year-old Point Cook man died in Royal Melbourne Hospital on Wednesday five days after the now-triple fatality.
Corio’s Paul Stuart, 31, and 29-year-old Damien Willey, of Waurn Ponds, died in the smash.
The Geelong men died when their car collided with the other man’s vehicle as it travelled the wrong way down the freeway near Werribee about 2.45am last Friday.
Police estimated the impact speed at 200km/h.
A police spokesperson said the major collision unit had been investigating the accident but would now prepare a report for the coroner because all the crash victims were dead.
Mr Willey’s funeral was yesterday. Mourners will farewell Mr Stuart today.
