1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Joining me on the line right now to let us

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: know how things have gone over the weekend. It is

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: Craig Garaway from Saint John get A.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: Craig, Good morning, Katie.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: How are you very well mate? I understand you guys

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: had a very busy weekend by the look of it.

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Nine crashes and nine people transported to hospital.

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a bit of a busy weekend on

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: the road from a car crash perspective. As you said,

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: nine crashes, nine people take in the hospital. Obviously a

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 2: lot of crashes in the Darwin area and obviously a

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: lot of people going into the hospital system. Thankfully not

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: too serious in even them, but you know, still a

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: lot of damage and obviously a lot of time spend

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: in the hospital system taking up time there. So it

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: all started Saturday morning, Katie, on about ten o'clock we

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: had a young little Suzuki collide with a light pole

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: out at Parmas and there on the highway. That car

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: is actually still sitting there. I saw it again this morning.

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: It's got a fair bit of damage to it. Hoefully

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: there no one was too seriously injured, but they were

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: taken at the hospital as a result of hitting that

23
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: light bulb.

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what, Like you said, lucky, they

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: weren't too seriously injured, but in a stable condition by

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: the sounds of it in hospital, and that's not where

27
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: it ended. Another one on Sunday, pretty early in the morning,

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: seven fifty.

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked just a bit more serious about forty

30
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: k's down the Arm Highway. Two adults and two young

31
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: children in a vehicle there that's rolled over. I think

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: they're all able to get out of that vehicle and

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: when we arrived they all had a number of minor injuries.

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: It did require us to take them back to the

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: Royal Dun Hospital for a bit of treatment. And then

36
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: pretty much following on, about three or four hours later,

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: out of Cox Fininsul on the corner of Stuart Highway there,

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: we had another single vehicle roll over there and I

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: thank for only one person in that vehicle at the

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: time and gain minor injuries, but did require us to

41
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: take them to the Royal Dun Hospital. So yeah, all

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: in all, with everything else going on, very very busy

43
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: for our paramedic crews and all other emergency services who

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: are out there helping us.

45
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly sounds like it.

46
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Hey, Craig.

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, do you reckon that the fact that there

48
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: was those nine crashes and nine people transported to hospital.

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: Do you think that that rain on Saturday had much

50
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: to do with it or no idea at this point, not.

51
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: Really, because it's a number of those crashes were on

52
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: Someday and we didn't have any rain someday. I think

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 2: it's just in attention, Katie. You know, every day I

54
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: drive to work, people are tailgating each other and it

55
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: only takes someone to break quickly, and you know that

56
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: just starts a chain reaction. You know, people driving through

57
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: red lights. It just amazes me. It scares me some

58
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: days that people just don't seem to think they have

59
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: to stop for red lights. And yeah, it's just all

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: those silly little things that you know, we shouldn't be doing,

61
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: but we Everyone just seems to be in a hurry. Now.

62
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: Oh and you've got to take care no matter what,

63
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: because you don't want to wind up in a terrible

64
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: crash and worse still end up losing your life. So

65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: I think it is important that we do take care

66
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: on the roads.

67
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's the innocent people that get caught up

68
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: in the middle of it. You know, usually the ones

69
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: that gets seriously injured or you know, worse killed, Usually

70
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: the innocent people who are doing the right thing and

71
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: unfortunately so imagine doing something silly and having to live

72
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: with that for the rest of your life, killing someone

73
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: or a family.

74
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. Well, Craig Garaway, I always appreciate

75
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: your time. Thanks so much for having a chat with

76
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: me this morning.

77
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: I've been great, Katie. Thank you. You
