Todd Robinson speaks out about his partner, Constable Glen Humphris — one of the four police officers killed in a fatal crash — saying he was so proud to have joined Victoria Police.

"We just bonded as outdoor people, we got into triathlons, loved running, loved running on the beaches in Newcastle," he said."We'd be out camping, we'd be out hiking," he said."His type of adventure and fun was, for my birthday in January he threw me out of a plane skydiving saying, 'You're coming with me'."

They moved to Melbourne together, after eight months of dating, for Mr Robinson's work with the Department of Defence."He loved helping people and being supportive of the community," he said. Mr Robinson said on Wednesday he had been preparing dinner for the pair when he heard on the news that there had been a crash on the Eastern Freeway."After two hours of not hearing anything it was confirmed on TV that four had been killed, that moment I got a knock on the door with five senior police officers there," he said."To let everybody know he wore a uniform, but he was a person under that uniform. He came home to someone," he said.

Porsche driver who fled Melbourne crash that killed four police officers is identifiedThe driver of a Porsche involved in a highway crash that killed four Victoria Police officers has been identified as a 41-year-old mortgage broker. Jail for a long stretch seems a good idea. Fleeing the scene of an accident -In these circumstances, if you did not stop your car or render the injured people assistance, you may be charged with an indictable offence. This is serious as it can carry up to a ten year jail sentence or 1200 penalty units. He'll need to retain George Pell's lawyer to get him out of this one.... there are no words. RIP to the brave police.

Fatal Melbourne crash involving truck and police officers closes Eastern FreewayThe ABC understands more than one person has been killed in a crash in which a semi-trailer appears to have hit several cars, crushing one, on the Eastern Freeway at Kew. I’d be interested to know if people who are still on the roads a lot think that drivers are more reckless these days. I don’t go out that often, but when I have I’ve really noticed a difference for the worse. 😔 this sounds ugly
