Truck driver from Melbourne freeway crash hit with multiple charges over police deaths | ABC News

The four officers had been standing in the emergency lane of the freeway as they prepared to impound the Porsche 911, which was being driven by 41-year-old Melbourne mortgage broker Richard Pusey.

Police allege Mr Pusey was driving at 149 kilometres per hour when they made the decision to pull him over.

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said on Thursday that the truck appeared to have moved from the right-most lane of the freeway to the emergency lane shortly before it hit the officers while travelling at 100 kph.
