SYDNEY, May 4 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed and two others were fighting for their lives following a vehicle crash on Sunday in Australia's southeastern state of Victoria.

Emergency services were called to reports of the single-vehicle crash on a road near the small town of Briagolong, some 238 km east of Melbourne, about 3:45 p.m. local time, Victoria Police said in a statement.

Two people were found dead at the scene, police said, adding that paramedics were treating a woman and a teenage girl, who were both in a life-threatening condition.

"The exact circumstances surrounding the crash are yet to be determined and investigations remain ongoing," police said in the statement.

According to a report of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the car is thought to have rolled before hitting a barricade.

The two wounded have been flown to Melbourne hospitals, the ABC report said.
