00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, look a sad way to sort of start the

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: weekend happened now that Humpty do on the Arnham Highway

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 2: there three cars have collided an unfortunately a person there

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 2: has passed away at the scene. Quite a tragic incident,

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of damage there and we did

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: transport another person to the Royal Dale Hospital with minor injuries.

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: But yeah, look not a good result and yeah, just sad.

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know that the Northern Territory Police are

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: still calling for witnesses to that crash. That crime scene

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: had to be declared and the section of the highway

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: was closed stoff for several hours. Well. Major Crash detectives

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: investigated the circumstances around that crash and those circumstances are

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: still not known at this point in time, but it

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: is always a reminder for us all to just do

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: our best to you know, to not only follow the

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: road rules, but try to make sure that we're driving

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: defensively and keeping an eye out for other people that

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: are on the road too.

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, Katie, I think the important things are, you know, obviously,

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: make sure that you've got plenty of room in front

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: of you stop in the event you need to stop quickly.

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: I see people targeting every day, and it puts people

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: under pressure that you know, you're tailgating, you know, you know,

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: take a bit extra time. You know, everyone seems in

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: a hurry and they're frustrated and they get angry, quicker

32
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: people on their mobile phones. And the other one that

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: really gets me is people driving through red lights. I

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: really got taken out the other day by someone going

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: through a red light, and yeah, just slow down. It's

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: the innocent people that are getting killed or injured and maimed.

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: And you know, people spend months in hospital recovering from

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: some of these injuries, and it impacts on people's lives forever.

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: It most certainly does. And I tell you what, my

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: heart goes out to the family that has lost a

41
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: loved one over the weekend. Is absolutely tragic. News, and

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: as you said though as well, also somebody injured and

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: I really hope that that person is able to make

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: a full recovery. Craig, we also know on Sunday, at

45
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: about ten point thirty in the morning, a forty nine

46
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: year old male fell from a five meter will fell

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: five meters from a ladder. Yeah.

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: Look, he was obviously doing some work around the house,

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: I believe, and quite along all five meters. It's a

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: long way to go down and I think we've all

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: probably had that thing happened to us. We we're at

52
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 2: the top of a ladder and the ladder nearly falls over.

53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, this gentleman definitely fell from the ladder and

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: sedained a number of injuries not too serious, but was

55
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: transported to the Royal Daun Hospital for further treatment. But yeah,

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: be careful when you're working around the house or up

57
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: on the roof or you know, just take those extra

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: few precautions and take a bit of extra time.

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, they just finally I know that there's a

60
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: fundraiser happening as well, or has it already happened, Yeah,

00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,639

Speaker 2: they raise seventeen hundred dollars and that's seventeen hundred dollars.
