Colin Sylvia dies in a car accident.
Re: Colin Sylvia - DJC - 10-29-2018
I wonder how you could have a fatal accident at that intersection.
Anyway, happen it did and another young life is taken far too early.
RIP

RIP. Didn't like the player, but that doesn't mean we can't all fee empathy for his family at this difficult time.

Happens on country road intersections all the time.
I think part of the problem is the boredom that comes with driving long distances often makes people less attentive.
Self driving cars in country regions would almost eliminate this type of accident, if only they had a useful range, but for some reason the car industry has tied self-driving to being almost exclusively electric.

The crash happened at the intersection of Benetook Avenue and Nineteenth Street in Irymple LP. I'm sure that it is a 60kph zone.

No one does 60kms there.
Vines on all corners.
Alcohol involved apparently

Hopefully the other person is okay.
Re: Colin Sylvia - Professer E - 10-29-2018
x2. I hope the other party is ok. High speed collision is what was reported on the news, and that doesn't sound good.

I doubt it is 60kph and if it was I doubt anybody local does 60kph there, I'd have thought 80kph is probably the expected limit there but I doubt it is even sign posted. Intersection of two dead straight roads more than a couple of km out of town.
Sadly, it is almost stereo typical of what happens in the bush, the other big question is whether it was an accident although there was no tree involved.

RIP Colin Sylvia.
Very sad for his family and mates.
Far too young to die.
I remember when we lost Maurie Sankey all those years ago.
It,s always a sad time.
