ffs another crash on that bridge. bloody death trap that whole road is.

condolences to the family. but honestly why do people speed over that bridge in the wet? common sense.

Reese Morgan2026-07-06T10:10:12.000Z

typical. always an excuse to bash council. sometimes it's just bad luck mate.

Drew Parker2026-07-06T09:36:12.000Z

anyone know if it was a local or a tourist?

doesn't matter who it was, still a tragedy. pull ya head in

Noah Bennett2026-07-06T09:43:12.000Z

rip. but nobody's talking about how the council keeps ignoring safety upgrades here

Kai Thompson2026-07-06T09:59:12.000Z

I drive that road every day for work. always slow down at that bridge. feel so bad for the driver's family.

bet it was a tourist with no idea how to handle these roads

Drew Parker2026-07-06T10:57:12.000Z

yeah you're probably right, we get them all through here

Kai Thompson2026-07-06T10:56:12.000Z
