Police are seeking witnesses to a fatal crash at the Victoria-South Australia border which killed a truck driver when his vehicle burst into flames.
The fiery crash happened on the Western Highway at Serviceton about 2.20am on February 11 when the South Australian border was largely shut to Victorians.
Investigators have been told a B-double truck crashed into the back of a stationary truck in front of it.
The stationary truck then crashed into a truck in front of it, with all three catching fire.
The driver of the first truck, a 46-year-old Parafield Gardens man, died in the inferno.
The driver of the second truck, a 27-year-old man from Langford, Western Australia and his passenger, a 63-year-old man from Carey Park, Western Australia, were taken to hospital and have since been released, Victoria Police said.
The driver of the third truck, a 50-year-old man from Melton, in Melbourne's west, was uninjured.
The exact cause of the deadly crash is still being investigated and police are appealing to truck drivers who may have witnessed the incident or have dashcam footage from the area around the time of the collision to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
