Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have charged a woman following a fatal crash in Cobbannah last year.
It is understood a 2022 Ford Everest left Bairnsdale-Dargo Road and rolled down an embankment about 10.30pm on Saturday, 11 January 2025.
Emergency services arrived and performed CPR on a 35-year-old woman from Sale, who was a passenger in the Ford.
Sadly, she died at the scene.
The driver, a 26-year-old Maffra woman, was at the time taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Today, detectives have charged her with culpable driving, dangerous driving causing death and driving under the influence (alcohol).
She was bailed to appear before Latrobe Valley Magistrates’ Court on 6 January.
