Family of Perth crash victim advocate for improved road safety measures in wake of tragedy.
The tragic passing of a young Perth teenager in a car accident has left his parents, Daniel and Bianca Campo, heartbroken. Just two days after celebrating his 18th birthday, Nick Campo was killed when the ute he and his friends were traveling in crashed into another vehicle on July 13th. In the midst of their unbearable pain, Nick's parents are determined to turn their grief into a call for road safety awareness.

Speaking to 9News, Daniel and Bianca shared their memories of their beloved son. Bianca described Nick as a one-of-a-kind person, loved by many for his special and endearing qualities. Daniel fondly remembered Nick's cheeky personality, a trait that he had since he was young. It's no surprise that Nick was known for his mischievousness, as his parents lovingly recalled.

The night of the accident, Nick was out celebrating his birthday with friends, including two teammates from his football club. His passion for sports was evident, and his parents spoke of his dedication and love for his teammates. Unfortunately, the ute crash resulted in serious injuries for Nick's friends, including one who is still fighting for their life in the hospital. The 17-year-old driver of the ute is facing serious charges, and his parents are praying for the recovery of their son's friend.

In the midst of their pain, Daniel and Bianca are determined to spread awareness about road safety, launching a campaign called "Call Out for Nick." They urge people to speak up if they see young drivers being careless or reckless on the road. They know all too well the consequences of ignoring dangerous behavior, and they don't want any other families to experience the same pain they are going through.

The West Australian Football League is also honoring Nick's memory by wearing black armbands and holding a minute of silence before each match this weekend. The outpouring of love and support from the community has been overwhelming for Nick's family, and they are grateful for all the messages they have received. As they grieve the loss of their beloved son, Daniel and Bianca are determined to make a positive impact in his memory. Let us all remember Nick and heed his parents' call for road safety.
