The NWA Midwest/IWA Mid-South Women's Championship is a title defended mainly in the IWA mid-south promotion and in the Midwest territory of the National Wrestling Alliance. The title first appeared at the May 30, 2004 IWA-MS show "Volcano Girls" that had an 11-woman tournament to decide the first IWA-MS/NWA Midwest women's champion.
In the Borung Highway collision near Donald, Victoria at 12:40 pm (AEST) on 26 September, 2006, a vehicle approaching an intersection from a minor road failed to heed a Give way sign and collided with a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction.
This was the state of Victoria's worst road accident, in terms of casualties, in over a decade, resulting in all seven people in either vehicle being killed. After the collision, one vehicle caught fire and burned.
The design of the intersection was not an ordinary T-intersection, but a confusing Y-shape which locals had been complaining about for years as an accident waiting to happen.
From the point of view of the driver at fault, who had been on the road for many hours and may have been tired, the stretch of the Borung Highway disappearing into the distance may well have been a continuation of the road from Swan Hill on which he was actually driving. The small give way sign might easily be overlooked.
