Hobart - crashed Defender

[cewilson]

Just saw the news showing footage of an extensively damaged Defender down in Hobart from an accident today. Mentioned a P-plater was driving at the time.

Hope it wasn't someone (or their child) from the forum?









Actually been a bad day on the roads down here. A death of an infant this morning at Trial Harbour involving a 4WD, and reports just coming in of a fatality up on the Bass Highway in the north west as well.

Sad that this goes on every holiday weekend. Someone, somewhere is grieving tonight

Reportedly the driver was alone, quite drunk, had been done for same previous, just back on road. Was a nice vehicle.

I often ran past it as it was parked in South Hobart and I was on my mini marathon to keep fit.
Guess I won't be waving to it any more as I go past.
Sad, Peter.
