I didn't know him but I do know he was a disqualified car thief who not only killed himself but also another person with him.

Keep up the good work reporting on these tragic events, however please be more aware of what is advertised on your site as you hear Justin Smith introduce the story it talks aboutr a 17 year old kid crashing the car in north fitzroy with a whitness stating a strong smell of booz, then look to the right of screen and there is an advert for the wine liquidation centre in north fitzroy, i think it must be an oversight but I still think its in appropriate

The slient truth is that we are all pleased that another "idiot" is no longer on our roads. As long as they keep killing themselves and nobody else - then that's good news for all of use who want to live.
