    You need to know that the information that you reported regarding the Wadalba crash this week was incorrect…this was not a crash involving two cars and a truck…it was a case of a truck plowing into two stationary cars and resulting in the death of an innocent 17yo boy who was sitting in his stationary vehicle on his way home from his shift at KFC!
    You need to retract your incorrect information and share what actually happened. Your badly presented information insinuates that the 17yo driver of the Falcon was involved in the accident….he was just an innoncent bystander who was at the wrong place at the wrong time and it has cost him his life. He had beaten the odds of an unfortunate start in life and his grandparents deserve to have his memory posted with respect!
    I live 900 kilometres away in Queensland and I was able to find out exactly what happened! You should be ashamed at the level of inaccuracy you have portrayed!
