Healthcare workers killed in Ledcourt triple-fatal had a 'bright' future in Australia

Michael Zheng and Angela Wang, a married couple from Horsham, Victoria, tragically died in a multi-vehicle crash on September 27. The couple, who had recently celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary, were instrumental in their plans to start a family together. Both were respected members of the local community, with Zheng recently promoted as the manager of the Horsham Dentist Group and Wang working as a nurse at Grampians Health.

Their friend, JingJing Tang, remembered the couple fondly, describing them as "wonderful people with so much hope for their future in Australia" and noting that they were granted permanent residency in Australia the previous year. The crash occurred around 6.45pm when Zheng's car collided with a Mitsubishi Triton and a truck. A teenage passenger in the Mitsubishi, Tenesha Fieldsend, also died at the scene.

Friends and colleagues have been devastated by the loss, with many expressing their shock and grief over the sudden and senseless tragedy. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
