Three school students have been rushed to hospital after they were allegedly struck by a vehicle in Melbourne’s southeast.

A black Mitsubishi Triton ute allegedly collided with the teenager shortly after 3pm on O’Sullivan Rd in Glen Waverley.

A 44-year-old Springvale man, who is believed to be the driver, stopped the ute nearby and is now assisting Victoria Police with their inquiries.

Police are still looking for the ute passenger who is believed to have left the scene.

A teenage girl suffered upper and lower body injuries, and was taken to The Royal Children’s Hospital in a critical condition.

One of the two teenage boys injured was taken in a serious but stable condition to The Alfred Hospital with upper and lower body injuries.

The second male suffered minor upper body injuries and was taken to Box Hill Hospital in a stable condition.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, or has CCTV or dashcam footage, or any other information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

Divers find remains of Finnish WWII plane that was shot down by Moscow with a US diplomat aboard
The World War II mystery of what happened to a Finnish passenger plane after it was shot down over the Baltic Sea by Soviet bombers appears to finally be solved more than eight decades later. The plane was carrying American and French diplomatic couriers in June 1940 when it was downed just days before Moscow annexed the Baltic states. All nine people on board the plane were killed, including the two-member Finnish crew and the seven passengers — an American diplomat, two French, two Germans, a Swede and a dual Estonian-Finnish national.
