Unless he was on his phone or under the influence I don't really understand this charge...?
I am deeply sorry for the losses to the parents who's children died because of the accident but was it really reckless driving if someone in front of the line hits and animal and the person behind brakes to avoid hitting the person in front just for the last person to have a split second to think about what he has to do?

Exactly what I say too, don’t complain about these events unless you’re willing to put your hand up and help plan them, they don’t just miraculously “happen” with no help for people behind the scenes. This years show was fantastic!

Love your family and those close to you.

My heart goes out to everyone involved but especially to the family that has lost a family member so close to the festive season.

Spend every day of the rest their life with an emptiness that will never be filled.
Sending all our love to this beautiful family. 🦋
Unimaginable tragic circumstances. Hoping the family will have support coping with their loss. Sincere thoughts go to all responders and other drivers involved. 💙😞
