Residents, politicians and Casey Council have pointed the blame at the State Government for failing to fix this black spot.

Before June 28, there had been no fatalities at the spot, but a stream of more minor accidents.

VicRoads has said the intersection, one of a long list of priority areas, was under investigation for safety upgrades.

The authority has the unenviable task to ensure the roads system in the south-east of Melbourne can keep pace with the swelling numbers of residents and vehicles.

The sorry fact is there is no single answer, no single person to blame. We all share responsibility.
