“A tragic day for Victoria Police”: CCP Graham Ashton

Supplied video obtained Thursday, April 23, 2020, of Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton speaking to reporters after four police officers were hit and killed by a truck on Melbourne's Eastern Freeway about 5.40pm on Wednesday. Mr Ashton says the whole force is reeling from what occurred last night. "It is a tragic day for Victoria Police. It's an unprecedented event for us to lose so many officers in one event, in one very terrible collision on the freeway," he says. "Officers just doing their work, doing their job. Doing a duty that is performed by officers many times a day across our state." (AAP VIDEO/Supplied/Victoria Police)
