A Melbourne court has heard shocking texts from the truck driver who was high on ice and thought he saw a witch before ploughing into and killing four Victoria Police officers in April last year.

Mohinder Singh, 48, ploughed into the four officers near Kew on the Eastern Freeway on April 22 last year in what would become the single deadliest incident in Victorian Police history.

Singh entered guilty pleas to four counts of culpable driving causing death and six other charges in relation to the crash that killed Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, Senior Constable Kevin King and constables Glen Humphris and Josh Prestney.

The officers had earlier pulled over Porsche driver Richard Pusey because he was allegedly speeding. Mr Pusey, who was urinating behind a barrier when Singh’s truck crashed through the emergency lane, later filmed the officers while they were dying.

In the Victorian Supreme Court on Thursday, prosecutor Brendan Kissane QC said Singh had not slept for more than a week and was so affected by drugs that at one point he “couldn’t even speak”.
