Ex-Collingwood player faces charges after fatal car accident in Western Australia.
A tragic incident occurred in Western Australia on Friday morning, resulting in the loss of two lives. Emergency services were called to the Brand Highway in Coolijarloo near Catby at around 9am following reports of a crash involving two cars and a road train with two trailers. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that a former Collingwood player, Shannon Cox, was driving the Toyota involved in the collision.

Tragically, two women in their 80s, who were in the Suzuki hatchback, lost their lives in the crash. The impact was so severe that even a 12-year-old girl, who was a passenger in the Toyota, sustained injuries. Cox, who retired from the Magpies in 2009 after playing 25 games, has been charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death and is currently in custody.

During his court appearance today, Cox did not apply for bail and will remain in custody until his next hearing on June 18. The community is devastated by this tragic event and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims. It serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving and the devastating consequences that can result from reckless behavior behind the wheel. We hope that justice will be served for the lives lost and the little girl who was injured in this heartbreaking incident.
