Tragic news, always sad to hear about a life lost on our roads. Hope the other injured person recovers okay.

Another one gone on that stretch of SH1. Absolute death trap, but will they do anything? Nah, just put up another sign.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-01T00:29:09.000Z

nah they never do. Just patch it up and move on.

mate you don't know what happened

62 and still driving on that highway? Probably should've retired from the commute years ago. RIP anyway.

Honestly, how many more people have to die before they fix that road? It's a bloody disgrace.

Couldn't agree more. So over the negligence.

Grenada North is an absolute nightmare at the best of times. So scary to hear this happened.

Riley Scott2026-07-01T01:10:09.000Z

Isla Cooper2026-07-01T01:49:09.000Z

no accountability ever.

Sky Murphy2026-07-01T01:21:09.000Z

Hope the inquiry finds out what caused it. Could be anyone next.

Sky Murphy2026-07-01T01:45:09.000Z
