In the early hours of Saturday morning, a horrific crash occurred in Oakford, Perth. An orange Holden was left mangled, resembling a twisted wreck. The loud impact was heard by local resident Brad Richardson, who immediately ran outside to see what had happened. To his shock, he saw a 22-year-old driver trapped in the car, in desperate need of help.
Without hesitation, Richardson attempted to give the young driver CPR, while waiting for emergency services to arrive. "I got him out and did CPR on him, but the police showed up and took over," he told 9News. Despite their best efforts, the young man, later identified as Jady Turner, could not be saved and passed away at Fiona Stanley Hospital.
Jady was described by friends as an amazing person, an idol for many, and someone who will be deeply missed by everyone. It's a heartbreaking loss for the community. According to WA Police, the accident occurred when two trucks with oversized loads were traveling east on Thomas Road, while Jady's ute, followed closely by a red ford Sedan, was traveling west.
As Jady attempted to pass the trucks, he clipped them both and lost control of his vehicle. His car spun out of control and collided with a white pilot vehicle that was traveling behind the convoy. Tragically, the 75-year-old driver of the pilot car sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Police Commander Mike Bell commented on the incident, stating that the other two cars were traveling at an excessive speed and had no time to react and avoid the collision.
The footage of the impact was deemed too brutal to be released, but Commander Bell had already seen it and described it as "shattering" to watch. This unfortunate accident brings the road toll in WA to 157 deaths this year. The driver of the second car, a 20-year-old, and his passenger, believed to be friends with Jady, were thankfully unharmed. However, the driver allegedly failed a breath test and was charged with dangerous driving causing death. He will face court next month.
It's a tragic reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and the devastating consequences it can have. As the community mourns the loss of Jady, it's a wake-up call for everyone to drive safely and responsibly on the roads.
