A former Geelong AFL player has been charged after a car accident resulted in the death of his wife, leaving him devastated.
According to reports, Ray Card, a former player for the Geelong AFL team, is facing charges as the driver involved in a tragic accident that took the life of his wife on Saturday in Victoria. The 67-year-old Card was injured in the collision, while his 57-year-old wife, Mandy, passed away at the scene on Geelong Ring Road, located southwest of Melbourne. Two other individuals, a 23-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman, were also injured when a truck collided with their BMW around 11:20 pm.

Initial investigations indicate that Card was behind the wheel at the time of the accident, with his wife as a passenger. As a result, he has been charged with culpable driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death. However, he has been granted bail and is scheduled to appear in court on November 26th at Geelong Magistrates Court. Currently, he is under police supervision at the hospital as they continue to look into the details of the crash.

The news of the accident has left the Geelong community in shock, with many expressing their condolences and support for Card and his family. Nick Walsh, the club's secretary, shared with 9news.com.au that they are "absolutely devastated beyond belief for Ray and the loss of his beautiful wife Mandy." Card, who played 110 games for the Geelong Cats from 1977 to 1987, was a well-respected member of the team, even winning the best and fairest award in 1983.

The entire community is mourning the loss of Mandy and sending their thoughts and prayers to the Card family during this difficult time. The authorities are working tirelessly to piece together the details of the accident, but for now, the focus remains on supporting those affected by this tragic event.
