Delivery driver's mistake caused serious harm to students, court told.
According to recent court proceedings, a truck driver caused serious harm to two young students when he ignored a red light and drove through a school crossing in Adelaide. Despite the traffic signal being red for nearly 10 seconds, the driver, Sang Van Huynh, failed to stop and ultimately caused life-changing injuries to the 16-year-old victims. The incident, which occurred on Kensington Road outside Marryatville High in March of last year, was so devastating that neither Amity Nield nor Isaac Jones can recall the exact details of what happened.

Both Amity and Isaac suffered significant injuries as a result of the crash. Amity was left with multiple fractures, while Isaac endured a traumatic brain injury that has put his dream of becoming a marine biologist on hold. In light of the severity of the situation, the delivery driver pleaded guilty to the charges and expressed a brief apology outside the District Court as he left.

During the court proceedings, it was revealed that moments before the accident, Huynh had switched lanes in an attempt to avoid the cars in front of him. In doing so, he cut in front of a bus and ultimately plowed through the school crossing. However, it was confirmed that the 57-year-old was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, nor was he speeding or using his phone. The judge stated that the incident was a clear case of gross carelessness and inattention.

In an effort to avoid imprisonment, Huynh has requested a suspended sentence. However, the families of the victims are questioning why such a reckless act would not result in jail time for the driver. The court is expected to deliver its verdict next month.
