A bus driver who was convicted of careless driving after a fatal pedestrian incident in Brisbane loses his appeal, according to multiple reports. The case involves a city bus driver who was behind the wheel when he struck and killed an 18-year-old teen girl, identified as Tia Cameron. The fatal crash occurred in 2024 during peak-hour traffic in the Brisbane CBD.
Across outlets, the reporting states that the driver appealed a conviction related to the death, but the appeal is not successful. The West Australian and PerthNow describe the driver launching the appeal after being found guilty of careless driving. The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, and Brisbane Times report that the driver, described as a former council bus driver, fails to have the conviction overturned.
While the outlets vary slightly in how they describe the driver and the timing, they consistently report the same outcome: the careless-driving conviction stands following the unsuccessful appeal.
