Last night it took me about an hour and a half to get home when it usually takes 20 mins, due to major traffic jams on great eastern and tonkin hwy. I just found out what happened.
A motorbike was travelling along tonkin hwy. a toyota was apparently doing stupid speeds and didnt see the bike and ran into the back of with the front corner of the vehicle. the toyota hit it so hard the bike became stuck onto the toyota.
the male on the bike was thrown of the bike with impact.
the female was dragged under the toyota for around 100 metres.
Trucks travelling along tonkin formed a blockade so cars wouldnt hit the bodys and wreckage.
When the ambos arrived then found the first body (the male) and put a sheet over him as he was long gone.
They got to the toyota and realised the female was still underneath it. So the ambos asked one of the truck drivers if they could use his hydraulic lift to get the car off the body to see if she was still alive.
The truck driver didnt seem to think it would be strong enough but he gave it ago.
They lifted it up and... the truck driver looks down. It was his mum under the car. His father and mother had been riding that bike.
Both killed.
That poor truck driver. What a horrible thing to see.
My condolences and sympathies go out to him and his family.
