THE Hamilton community is in mourning following the loss of four locals who tragically died when a vehicle they were travelling in left the road and struck a tree on the Wannon-Nigretta Falls Road at Bochara in the early hours of Saturday morning, May 27.

Three teenagers and one adult - all from Hamilton - died at the scene on the single-lane back road with a passer-by discovering the vehicle at about 9.30am and raised the alarm.
