Melbourne: An Indian teenager is battling for his life after a car carrying four Indian overseas students hit a tree in Bundoora this morning.
The 19-year-old student driver was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition after the accident in Snake Gully Drive at around 2.20am when the car veered off the road and hit the tree.
The 20-year-old male front-seat passenger was taken to The Alfred hospital in a serious but not a life-threatening condition. The two remaining passengers, aged 20 and 21 years, escaped serious injury. Police are probing the accident.

Mr. Neeraj Nanda,
I would request you to bring to light the plight of my husband, Mr. Samrat Chakrabarti of Calcutta, India who went to Melboune on 22nd March & died in 20th April of a fatal car crash which occured on April 16. I went there to bring the body back. I have two kids aged 1 & 8 yeras & could not wait there for long to see that justice is done. He was waiting on the median strip to cross the City Road in Melbourne.
