Current Four police officers killed after pulling over a Porsche 911 on Melbourne freeway

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Also, I can't figure out these photos

Why is the Porsche crushed in the left photo but uncrushed in the right?

Did it spring back to normal once the truck was lifted off?

Because on the right the truck has been jacked up and the car is being winches up onto a tilt truck.

It could have been my darling 83 year old nana they were pulling over in the same spot instead of than Mr Pusey, but the truck still would have hit them. Our legal system will not allow him to be charged with involuntary manslaughter or any other thing like that because if you take the emotion out of it all, the crash wasn't his fault.

Then it probably only would have been two officers dead.

There it is on ABC, failure to render assistance carries a penalty up to 10 years jail.

5:30pm heading into the city, there’d be minimal traffic during ISO. Clearly shows in this photo there is no traffic so had every opportunity to slow down.



He swerves from right lane into emergency lane at 100km/hr. Deliberate as you can get. Hopefully cops beat the shit out of him and that’s why he’s in hospital.

PLEASE PLEASE can one judge have the ****ing balls to give him the full 10 years PLEASE!!!!

 

[Dan Moody]

Let's not kid ourselves, dick pussay is a POS but he did not cause the accident and will almost certainly not see jail time. But everybody will know him by name so his life is effectively ruined now anyway.

We can only hope.
I can honestly say, that if I had the misfortune to ever cross paths with this person and identified his name, I would lay my fist square into his face and lay him on his arse.
Do you think any cops would pursue the matter?

I wouldn't be surprised if the ridiculous law of having to slow to 40kph past flashing lights has had something to do with this.
I drive a truck and have had to slam on the brakes in a 100kmh zone many times when cops pull people over around a bend or after a rise in the road which doesn't give you enough time to see them and safely slow down to 40.

Then you are not driving safely. If you cant slow to 40 without "slamming on the brakes" then you are not leaving a big enough gap to the vehicles in front. You hit someone from behind - no matter the circumstances - you are liable.

That's just one of the charges he's got coming. Given he had the presence of mind to take photos he later posted to facebook, any defence of acting reflexively and running in fear and shock won't be an open to him so he will get a hefty sentence imo.

Wasnt the law amended for freeway driving? It was changed in NSW. Really not an ideal scenario if you come round a bend at 100km/h and theres a police car pulled over with lights on. Some drivers panic and jam the brakes on full in an attempt to slow to 40knm/h.

Any of the "he might have lost control while slowing down to 40" crew want to have a go at this?

So the same law in the final Seinfeld episode?

As if he’ll get 10 years for running away from the scene of a crime and not rendering assistance. Get a good lawyer, they’ll drop the charges. He isn’t the one that killed 4 policemen.

I remember the Pusey episode on ACA. He’s a renowned bill non-payer. Basically, had 10s of 1000’s worth of reno’s done on his house and never paid the tradies. The principal in the episode was a cabinetmaker chasing up outstanding debts to help for his wife’s cancer treatment. Said that Pusey concocted ridiculous criticisms of the workmanship to deny the payment. And then paid the cabinetmaker a visit to unload on his sick wife. Nice guy.

No, he didn't kill the four cops but if he had, the maximum sentence might be much more than the 10 years he's now looking at for fail to render assistance.

He left 4 cops for dead, is a renowned campaigner and posted photos of the carnage

Any way they can lock up this **** in jail they will find it. Trust me.

U don’t **** around with cops

Ok, we’ll just have to wait and see whether he gets locked up, on this one incident alone, and not his priors.

It will be one or the other

And prison won’t be kind for him

I don’t have a clue what happened but only thing I’ll say is the practice of police stops in 100 km/h emergency lane is obviously complete stupidity.

How on earth this has ever been allowed to happen is mystifying. An emergency lane is just that - for emergencies such as breakdowns - not for police on foot to conduct what are basically interviews, right in the path of 100 km/h traffic.

On other roads there’s generally side streets that can be pulled into. I’m not sure what the answer is on freeways, whether there can be designated areas to pull into or whatever that are further off the road.

Sadly this is a totally predictable tragedy.

'Mohinder Singh' is a pretty typical Indian non-Muslim name though.

Got nothing to do with the gap to vehicles in front. It's got to do with coming around a corner, or coming over a rise in the road, and bang there's a cop car with their lights on and in order to slow down to 40kph, you have to slam the brakes on in a truck. You do understand that trucks take longer to slow down than cars yes?

Apparently the car was crushed by the truck, so how can it be uncrushed in the right pic?

Agree. Can see their SWMS being changed.

Too many shit drivers and rubberneckers out there causing accidents.

On a 100km/hr freeway Id be shitting myself standing outside interviewing a driver I pulled over.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Hard to believe what has transpired. I frequently drive on that part of the Eastern Freeway, and it's troubling to hear that the truck driver was driving 100km/h on the emergency lane.

They say the truck driver had a medical episode, but it's unclear whether this episode occurred before or after he hit the police officers.

It feels surreal that some of the officers worked at Boroondara Police Station, as I was only there about two months ago to have some documents signed and witnessed.

From what I read it was definitely after the crash

25 to 30 years ago in the early hours of the morning a car was reported as being abandoned on the Geelong bound side of the Ballarat road. Police were called to investigate.

Upon arriving at the vehicle from Geelong the police pulled off the opposite side of the road and exited their vehicle, walking over to the reported vehicle. They left their vehicle headlights on.

A Geelong bound vehicle with an extremely fatigued driver was returning to Geelong after the driver had, had a night out in Ballarat.

As the driver approached the scene, upon seeing the headlights, the fatigued driver thought he had drifted to the wrong side of the road. He has swerved to the left to go between the police and abandoned vehicles and has run over and killed both officers.

As a result police procedures were changed and the driver cleared.
