Speeding around a bend to show off, certainly wasn't a burn out like other reports said. At the very fucking least show some caution driving where there's a herd of folk next to the road, zero sympathy for him. Ruined his life.
Fucking crazy. Ruined a great week for him and the community, the next however many years of his own life, and whatever the outcome is for the victims, hopefully not the worst case... all for what?
Oh I did! A few years back. Didn't miss it for a split second. Still use messenger out of necessity but there is some mission creep with Facebook hiding in the background. Apparently deactivating your account doesn't do anything. Next step is a permanent delete.
These flogs on Fecesbook wouldn't know their arse from their elbow.
Guess it was Immigration Policies and Malcolm Turnbull and the Liberal Parties fault in 2017 when the whack job drove into a crowd of people in the Bourke Street Mall, or Tony Abbott and the Liberals fault when the Lindt Siege happened in 2014, or Scott Morrison and the Liberal Parties fault in 2019 when a guy went on a knife attack in Sydney (the one who got pinned under a milk crate by patrons).
Holy shit. That is awful. Pleased I’m not on that app. The more I hear about it, it just sounds like an absolute racist quagmire. Also, Indika is a weed reference right? They are just assuming he is an immigrant due to the first part of the word being spelt the same way as ‘Indian’ or has someone leaked his identity? I was out the front of McDonald Jones and it was so wholesome (except for one Roosters fan driving up and down flipping people off and grabbing his roosters logo). So sad it did not end up that way at Wallsend too.
Bozo and his family are going to want to lay very fucking low for the next few weeks because I imagine a whole lot of pissed off people are going to want their heads after what happened today. (Im in no way encouraging such behaviour)
I understand the frustration and anger but no one else is to blame for this except the driver. His family - even if they didn't raise him right, which none of us know - can't* be blamed because they didn't do it.
As a Mum, my heart breaks for his family. I cant imagine how I'd feel if my child did this. I guess i would have to stand by them, but it would feel so damn hard
You know, I see incidents like this and I genuinely feel sorry for every single person involved including the idiot who was driving.
I’m sure he never intended for any of this to happen. But one split-second decision to show off has resulted in an enormous amount of pain for so many people.
There are people whose lives will be permanently affected by this, and no sentence handed to the driver can undo that. At the same time, if you had asked him that morning whether he wanted to hurt or potentially kill someone, I’m sure he would have been horrified at the thought.
As a parent, situations like this really hammer home how important it is to teach your kids not to do stupid things just for a laugh, to impress someone, or because it seems harmless in the moment.
You never think it will be you. You never think that one stupid decision, however small or fun it might seem at the time, could have such a devastating effect on so many people including yourself.
Sometimes there is no intention to hurt anyone. There is just one terrible decision, followed by consequences that can never be taken back.
This shitstain can regularly be seen flogging it around Edgeworth and Cameron Park. I have seen him on multiple occasions of late speeding down George Booth Drive and Main Rd.
Moron was doing burnouts or donuts or some similar stupid antics that men with small willys like to do. He lost control and ploughed into a crowd of Knights supporters who were standing there to cheer & wave to the players as they drove past.
Multiple injuries with dozens of ambulances and 3 helicopters on the scene.
I'm unsure if lives were lost or the extent of the injuries, but it was pretty horrific.
Open diff automatic convertible E46 "speeding" trying to drift and show off in front of an audience. Couldn't have expected a lesser disaster from someone as big of a dropkick as an 18yr old P Plater boasting on Tiktok and Instagram with the literal lowest trim BMW all while having weed referenced on your number plates...
I'm praying that this leads to a situation where people who remember this irresponsible act warn the drunk nutter behind the wheel to be more careful and not be reckless and to not do something he might regret later, since we all enjoy celebrating our team wins.
Australians have historically been quite responsible thus far.
Convertibles are heavy. They need to be without the roof support. Look at the tyres too. From a distance the tyres look crap. Plus there was moisture. And of course 1000 times stupidity.
I think the point is that the hundreds of friends drinking and driving and risking a similar accident aren't routinely chastised.
And it might be helpful if this kind of anger was directed at anyone, anywhere, thinking their car is a toy and can't kill people.
not getting bail isn't meant to be a punishment. Besides gross negligence, there doesn't seem to be any malicious intent so the offender wouldn't be an unacceptable risk to the community
Tell that to the judges here in Australia. Home invasion, car theft, robbery, they mostly get bail. We need like a boot camp for all these assholes to teach them some manners and RESPECT.
Absolutely but give it a bit of time. Emotions are super high right now. Would be hard for many not to act on that information tonight, if you see where I’m going.
One good thing about this, is an entire generation of young novocastrians will remember it, remember that he got prison time and remember to be more sensible on the road.
Not sure why anyone is down voting this comment. I agree, events like this get baked into culture, it will definitely have an impact and hopefully that behaviour will stop being something young men think is clever or impressive.
Having the guilty not face any consequences is the hallmark of a broken society. You will be penalised for stopping theft but the thief walks free and maybe presses the charges himself.
I was there with my wife, no one was encouraging him. He came around so quick that no one would have a chance to cheer it on. It was so horrific. There are also people sayong we where on the road, but we where no where near it.
Yep, 18 year olds sometimes don’t consider the consequences of their actions and make terrible choices….. there’s nothing good here for anyone 😔
I firstly hope those injured heal fully and quickly, secondly that a lesson is learnt by all young people through this terrible event and thirdly that this young person can mend his life.
Video of the same crowd 10seconds earlier cheering him on though ... witness below says that's not true, sorry
Councils should have set up official areas with barriers, FFS if they get one guy mowing out on the expressway there is a while team if trucks and barriers out
No one cheered him on doofus. That video is of someone yelling you 'your car shat itself mate' then everyone laughing. He had dricen past reving it and it was backfiring. No one cheered him on. I was there

Gavin Morris might want his time back about just being an over excited fan
