Tragic Tale Unfolds: Man Faces Manslaughter Charges in Heartbreaking
Incident as Floodwaters Claim Young Life near Dubbo
A five-year-old kid
drowned in floodwaters in the Central West of New South Wales, and a driver has
been charged with manslaughter.
When a Toyota Hilux was
washed off The McGrane Way and into the water in September of last year,
emergency services were dispatched to Tullamore, which is located roughly 100
kilometers southwest of Dubbo. A five-year-old boy was trapped and perished, according
to the police, while the male driver, a mother, and two children managed to
escape.
About two hours passed
before the four who had escaped were discovered by the occupants of another car
that had been swept away and discovered them still clinging to trees.
After being saved by
boat, they were brought to a Dubbo hospital.
The five-year-old's
body was still inside the Hilux when police combed the area the next day. The
38-year-old driver of a Hilux was accused by police on Thursday with
manslaughter, reckless driving resulting in death, and dangerous driving
resulting in death.
Remanded in custody to
appear at Downing Centre Local Court on January 18, he was denied bail.
