Nine car crashes. Eight 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: people taken the hospital and obviously four of these actually 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: occurred in l Springs for serious accents on the road, 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: and obviously one resulted in a fatality. So a really 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: bad weekend on the road and busy time for emergency services. 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I'll go to on Saturday, I know, at 14 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: eight point thirty in the morning, this is a sad one. 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: A push bike rider was hit by a car and 16 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: passed away. At the scene that one there near Simpson's Gap. 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: There was a doctor on the scene who attempted to 18 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: assist that cyclist, but unfortunately, as as I said, that 19 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: person passed away. 20 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, look at this sad and you're right there was 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: a doctor and I believe nurse on the scene who 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: made men also riding bikes, So yeah, very disappointing and 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: obviously police fire and ambults on the scene very quickly, 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: but unfortunately the cyclist was unable to be saved and 25 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: had passed away at the scene. So yeah, really bad 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: start to our weekend. 27 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: It really is. And then later in the day, this 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: time in Livingstone, a forty six year old female came 29 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: off a motorbike. 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, she sustained a head injury out there at 31 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: about ten to six and forty six year old female 32 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: was transport to the hospital, not the serious condition, but 33 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: obviously as a result of that accident. And then pretty 34 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: much straight after this, about thirty minutes later, same area Livingston, 35 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: we had a forty six year old male there involved 36 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: in a quad bike accident resulted in a knee injury 37 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: and again needed to be taken to the hospital. So a 38 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: lot of people out enjoying obviously our lives style, okay, 39 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: and unfortunately sometimes that results in these type of incidences. 40 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: But yea not a good weekend, no, And then. 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: On Sunday, well Sunday evening in Tea where twenty five 42 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: year old bloke was bitten by a snake. 43 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, we've had a few of those over the 44 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: last couple of months, we've talked about as a bit 45 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: snake incident, and obviously normally I'm asked whether we know 46 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: what snake it was. We don't know what snake it was, 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 2: but I didn't know the snake was taken the hospital 48 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: for identification. So they did get the snake and get 49 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: into the hospital. It makes it a lot easier for 50 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: the hospital staff to especially if they've got to administer 51 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: and evenom to understand what sort of snake it is. 52 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: Holy moly, yes, preedy recovery. 53 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: So obviously you paramedics have got to make sure that 54 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: they get that twenty five year old into you know, 55 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: into the back of the vehicle safely and he's okay. 56 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: But then they also what was to go with the snake? 57 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: How did they catch the snake? 58 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 2: Well, I think the people there actually caught the stake 59 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: before we got there, which was a bit of a bonus, 60 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: and put it into a bag. So we were just 61 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: the transport medium a snake. And obviously the hospital staff 62 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: then would have got a snake experting to come and 63 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 2: identify that snake. As I said, so we. 64 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: Can holy moly, I'm assuming that the snake. I'm assuming 65 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: the snake was no longer alive. Either that or it 66 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: would have made for an interesting car trip. 67 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I can't answer that. You're right, it would 68 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: have made if it was alive. It would have made 69 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 2: for an interesting car trip, especially if it had it 70 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 2: got out and that would have got him all go. 71 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: That's always the concerns, you know. Once a funny story 72 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: for you, Craig Garaway. My husband was once transporting we'd 73 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: caught this big rat in our yard and he was 74 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: transporting it, you know, to take it out bush because 75 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: he's a good person like that, and it got out 76 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: in the car. 77 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: That would have been funny. Would have got out of 78 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: the car pretty quick. 79 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: Well, the kids refused to get back into the vehicle. 80 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: So I wondered the same with that snake. If something 81 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: like that happened, I'd be like, sorry, I'll walk to 82 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: the to the hospital. 83 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: And there's a lot of nooks and crannies in our animals, 84 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: just so I could imagine getting in one of those 85 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: and taken a while with a fine So it would 86 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: have been I no, not at all. 87 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad that everybody, obviously including the snake, got 88 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: to RDH safely by the sounds of it is that 89 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: twenty five year old Okay. 90 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: Yes, recovering well in hospital at the moment, and if 91 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: there's no signs of symptoms, I'll probably let him out today. 92 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 2: But yeah, anyway, it's another one.
