Police are blaming "hoon" driving for the deaths of two young men in a crash near Melbourne's city centre.

The pair, aged 19 and 21, were speeding in a yellow Holden Commodore along Lygon Street in Carlton around 2pm (AEST) Friday when the vehicle collided with a parked car near the corner of Palmerston St, police said.

The Commodore rebounded into the back of two parked taxis in which there were a total of five people - three passengers plus the two cabbies.

An eyewitness said the driver of the Commodore and his back seat passenger, who police said were both from north-west Melbourne, died at the scene.

The passenger in the front seat, a youth in his late teens, was taken to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition.

The three taxi passengers suffered minor injuries and were also taken to hospital, along with a female pedestrian who suffered shock after narrowly missing being hit in the crash.

Senior Sergeant Michael Talbot from the Major Collisions Investigation Unit said the Commodore driver had been speeding.

"Two young men have been killed and five others have been taken to hospital with varying degrees of injury that includes a lady who simply happened to be walking along the footpath," Snr Sgt Talbot said.

"This is another example of what you could say (is) hoon behaviour, hoon driving, and young people think they can outdo themselves and the results are tragic."

The female pedestrian helped paramedics treat one of the young men before he died.

"She was quite distressed, she also gave some assistance to treat one of the patients," a paramedic said at the scene.

Snr Sgt Talbot said the pedestrian was "severely traumatised".

Lygon Street is a busy shopping and restaurant strip favoured by drivers cruising the street to show off their vehicles, but Snr Sgt Talbot said it did not necessarily attract "hoons".

"Everywhere is a problem," he said.

"We just can't get it through to young people's heads that they are not invincible, that they will crash and they will die."

A resident in a nearby apartment tower, Jouana Assadi, said she heard a sound "like an explosion" and saw the wreckage outside her 19th floor window.

"The driver, he died straight away and the other passenger in the back, he died," she said.

"Just one, in the front seat, he was taken to hospital," she said.

Earlier Friday afternoon, a 42-year-old woman from Culcairn in southern NSW died when her car crashed into a tree on Brimin Road, Brimin, about 18 kilometres west of Rutherglen in Victoria.

A 10-year-old boy who had been travelling in the car went to a nearby house to raise the alarm, a Victoria Police spokesman said.

The deaths takes Victoria's road toll to 131, compared with 113 at the same time last year.

Funny how they made a big deal out of the HOONS But not the 42 Year old Lady?? Why ??Because they make more money out of young drivers ....

Mmm tragic,

But what about the innocents...the Tree? just a sadly forgotten bystander.

Ballanced-justice for all? I doubt it :)

yellow cars will be banned from p platers

I certainly hope so, or at least any P plater who wants to buy a yellow car.

According to research, people who drive yellow cars have below average self esteem and are prone to wild mood swings.

Sounds like an emo, if you ask me.

Considering how teenage emos behave, have the cops considered that this was a "cry for help" hooning?

100000 people?? who mentioned people....furthest thing from my mind atm..

But the Tree!! hows the Tree doing?

It's highly unlikely a 42y.o woman has ever done anything good for this planet....but the Tree, he did nothing but good.

I'm all for the media suckling at the teet of the "cash cow" that so-called teenage hoons have been become labled(by the post above).

Screw em...I mean what good do they do, it's not like they're Tree's or something else of worth.

A bit more to think about- according to an news article I saw in one of the weekend papers it was reported that the the driver of the yellow commodore had a brother who crashed and killed himself a few years earlier on Lygon St aswell

RIP ali an moe...

p.s. THE LEAST YOU f*k WITS CAN DO, INSTEED OF HIGHLIGHTING THAT THERE WERE "P" PLATES ON THE CAR IS GIVE YOUR RESPECTS.. KIDS HAVE DIED AND NO 1 CARES, JUST THE FACT THAT SPEED/HOONING MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FACTOR.. YOU CAN TELL WHO ARE THE WANKERS IN THIS FORUM THAT THINK THEY HAVE THE ANSWER TO THESE P PLATE ISSUES, BUT INFACT YOUS DONT.. ALL YOUS NO IS HOW TO JUMP ON THE BAND WAGON AND POINT FINGERS AS ANOTHER ACCIDENT IS PUBLISHED IN THE HERALD SUN.. I SEE HEAPS OF f*kING ACCIDENTS EVERY DAY AS I WORK ALL OVER MELBOURNE, I DONT THINK I HAVE SEEN 1 OF THEM PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER, NOT EVEN THE MESSY 1'S, BUT IF THERE ARE P PLATES IM SURE I WILL BE READING IT THE NEXT DAY IN THE PAPER OR WATCHING IT ON THE NEWS..

Yeah condolences and all....

Got a question for you. Why should this have never happened?? as you say......seems they did all they could to make it happen, not once but twice. Lessons learnt the hard way = 0, Seriously what does the govt have to do to get the message across?

I do feel genuinely sorry for the family....but geez stupid is as stupid does!

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.

      Oil Control In Rb's For Circuit Drag Or Drift

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.

      It definitely seems like you have no beef, with only digging up a 5 year old post, to comment on an inflammatory item with total insensitivity, and of which had nothing to do with the thread.  Yep, you definitely seem like a great person and your friends and family would be so proud to know of your lovely actions

      By Shizu · Posted

      Thanks buddy, so happy to be back! Managed to pickup a Unicorn R34 completely stock and clean. Looking forward to adding some goodies to it and posting one here. I'm shocked that so many forums stopped. If you could find my old profile - I'd love that if its possible. My old account was JET200GT. My email might need to be fixed too. To use this one. I think it was the same though..
