FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Acting NSW Premier Andrew Stoner has promised improved highway safety after accepting a petition with 23,000 signatures from the father of a young woman killed by a truck.
Sarah Frazer, 23, died on February 15 after her car broke down on the Hume Highway, south of Mittagong, in the state’s Southern Highlands.
Tow truck driver Geoff Clark, 40, was also knocked down and killed after he stopped to help Sarah.
A truck driver was charged over the deaths in March.
On Tuesday, Sarah’s father Peter Frazer presented Mr Stoner with the 23,000-strong petition calling on the government to improve highway safety.
Standing alongside family and supporters on the steps of the NSW parliament, Mr Frazer said the deaths showed “you can be killed just because your car overheats on Australia’s premier highway”.
“It is simply not safe to be caught in an emergency lane because our roads are built in a way that provides no safe place,” he said.
Mr Stoner said the section of the Hume Highway where the tragedy occurred did not have a proper breakdown lane.
He said the issue was “above politics” and that both sides of parliament would work together to resolve it to prevent such an awful tragedy occurring again.
“On our major non-metropolitan highways all too frequently there isn’t sufficient room to move over and park the vehicle to allow those emergency services to attend,” he said.
Parliament will debate the petition and Roads and Maritime Services are currently auditing non-metropolitan highways to identify how many breakdown lanes were unsafe, Mr Stoner added.
