Share This Post

The truck driver who was last year sentenced to jail after his truck ploughed into a line of stopped cars, injuring 6 people has been released from prison following a successful appeal.

The 42 year old driver was sentenced to 3 years in jail after being convicted of dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm to 2 police officers as well as 4 other people.

He lost control of his truck as he sped, double the speed limit, down a hill at Dee Why on Sydney’s northern beaches.

The 22 tonne truck flipped and hit into a line of cars stopped at a red light at a busy intersection.

In the appeal, the driver’s lawyers said failed brakes played a role in the crash.
