There were no cops there, even when I got slightly illegal.
But I did have the accountant watching over me.

Head on collision, by a people mover overtaking a truck, clipped it, spun head on into oncoming vehicle. 10 patients in all, 2x helicopters attend, 4x ambulance, 1 ambo manager, 3x fire/recue tenders, and a hell of a lot of police, (traffic/ normal and SCU).

Sadly 2 died.

That's interesting, the media is inferring it was the Merc driver at fault.

1,000,000 to 1...........but I bet ya that speed goes on report so it goes in the 'speed' statistics

'Remember that speed is a factor in 33% of accidents and 67% are caused by slow drivers'

'30% of accidents involve alcohol and 70% involve sober drivers'
