4yr Old Driving Car That Killed 6 People
This terrible accident happened last year. Un-fucking-believeable
Quote:
The four-year-old son of a man accused of killing six teenagers in an alleged hit-and-run accident was allegedly steering the car when it ploughed into them, a court heard.
Thomas Graham Towle, 35, is facing 17 charges, including six of culpable driving causing death, as a result of the accident near Mildura on February 18.
Prosecutor Jeremy Rapke, QC, told Mildura Magistrates Court today that the car may have been travelling at up to 150kmh [that's 97mph folks] shortly before it hit the teenagers.
"The four-year-old was actually steering the car at the time the incident occurred. The defendant, when he was interviewed by police, went out of his way to minimise responsibility for the accident," he said.
The allegations were aired during a bail application hearing this afternoon.
Towle appeared via videolink from Melbourne Remand Centre.
Magistrate Jelena Popovic stood down her decision on his application until 4pm.
About 30 people, including family and friends of the victims, attended the hearing.
The teenagers who died when the car ploughed into them at Cardross were Shane Hirst, 16, Abby Hirst, 17, Stevie-Lee Weight, 15, Cory Dowling, 16, and Cassandra Manners, 16.
Josie Calvi, 16, died later in Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Towle, of nearby Red Cliffs, is also charged with five counts of negligent driving causing serious injury, two of reckless conduct causing serious injury, dangerous driving, speeding and failing to stop and failing to help after an accident.

It's terrible - Mildura is a small country town and these kids were just standing beside the road waiting for a taxi when this retard came around the corner and ploughed into them. The whole community was devastated. There were rumours at the time that a child was driving, but a 4yr old!?!?!?

Mr Towle deserves a very long jail term. What a fucking idiot.

When we were little, we would get to sit in someone's lap and "drive" but it was always in a empty lot or a empty field and we weren't in danger of killing anyone...this man is an idiot. If he wanted to do this with his kid #1 WTF was he going 97 mph for and why on a crowded street?
