Daniel Andrews says no more can be done to stop cars ramming pedestrians in Melbourne CBD

Victorian premier Daniel Andrews says there is nothing more the government can do to stop cars ramming into pedestrians in the Melbourne CBD. Victorian premier Daniel Andrews says there is nothing more the government could have done to stop a car ploughing into pedestrians and cars in the city centre, killing one person and injuring five others. In scenes that brought back chilling memories of the deadly 2017 Bourke Street rampage, a white sedan mowed down pedestrians near a busy tram stop on Friday night and accelerated before crashing into two cars, killing a 76-year-old driver One man was killed and five others injured after a driver allegedly accelerated into the intersection of Bourke and Russell streets after driving at pedestrians at a tram stop Additional stainless steel bollards and reinforced barriers were added in 2019 to create pedestrian refuges beside tram tracks in the Mall, at Princes Bridge and Flinders Street Station, as part of the security upgrades. Mr Andrews said on Saturday he didn't believe there was anything more that could be done to protect pedestrians in Melbourne's CBD 'I think we've done all that we can to fortify footpaths to try and control the movement of traffic,' Mr Andrews said Victoria Police chief Shane Patton said patrols would be out and about over the weekend.
