Horror Accident in Bardon Leaves One Dead
A 61-year-old male rider was killed over the weekend when he collided with a sedan towing a trailer along Jubilee Terrace in Bardon. Emergency services were called to the crash at about 8:30am on Saturday morning. The Arana Hills local was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the sedan was turning right into Arthur Terrace when it collided with the deceased, who was travelling south along Jubilee Terrace. The driver of the sedan, a 21-year-old Kippa-Ring man, is assisting police with their inquiries. With the circumstances of the accident still largely unknown, the Forensic Crash Unit is appealing for witnesses of the incident to come forward. Brisbane Lawyer, Emily Billiau, appealed for motorists to take more care on our roads, especially as the silly season nears. Emily said:-
“Every year, we see an increase in compensation claims from accidents on our roads as the Christmas period approaches. This is a timely reminder for all road users to exercise extra care on our roads”.
