A cop who was part of the crew investigating that crash told me it took them some time to find Cooper as he was thrown well clear of the car in long grass. He reckoned if he'd worn a seat belt, he would have lived.That whole thing happened somewhat near me. A workmate knew one of the others.
I heard that he was thrown 100m from where the car ended up.
Not sure a seat belt would've helped that.
They were supposedly going 140km/h+
