Detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit (MCIU) have charged a man following their investigation into a fatal collision in Epping last year.
It is alleged a stabilizer arm attached to an articulated trailer had not been retracted when it struck an oncoming garbage truck at the intersection of Cooper Street and Miller Street just after 7.10am on 19 December.
The driver of the garbage truck, a 51-year-old Mill Park man, died at the scene.
Following an extensive investigation conducted in co-operation with WorkSafe Victoria, MCIU detectives have today charged the driver of the semi-trailer, a 48-year-old Truganina man, with culpable driving.
He has been bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 7 September.
