At least two people have perished after a car crashed and caught alight in Victoria's northeast high country.

The burned-out car was found by emergency services on Sunday morning on Mansfield-Woods Point Road in Piries, southeast of Mansfield.

Police believe the driver lost control before the car caught fire.

They say all occupants died at the scene but are yet to establish how many people were inside the car as they continue to investigate.

It comes after 12 people died in Victorian crashes last weekend, including five from a car ploughing into a Daylesford pub's beer garden.

More than 250 lives have been lost on Victorian roads this year, surpassing the 2022 full-year road toll of 241.
