WATCH: Victoria police are trying to figure out what caused an accident that killed a cab driver and injured three passengers. Kylie Stanton reports.
A Victoria taxi driver has been killed in a crash early Friday morning.
Victoria Police say the crash happened at Gorge Road and Garbally Road at 2:26 a.m. The cab went off the road and hit a pole, killing the 44-year-old driver.
The three male passengers in the taxi, two are 25 years old and one is 22 years old, survived but were rushed to hospital. Two are now in critical condition and the third is stable. Police say it is believed the third man was the only passenger wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.
Police do not know what caused the cab to go off the road and they will be reviewing video from inside the vehicle today. They do however think something happened inside the vehicle before the crash.
Officers suspect the taxi was travelling faster than the speed limit, judging by the damage to the vehicle.
No one else was on the road at the time of the incident.
