A driver, Nathaniel Jackman, pleads guilty to dangerous driving causing death after a fatal car rollover near Yalgoo that kills three passengers, including a baby and two women. The case is heard in a Geraldton court.
Both outlets report that the court hears Jackman was under the influence of cannabis before the crash. ABC Australia adds that he had smoked cannabis and did not hold a valid driver’s licence. The West Australian reports that court told it Jackman fell asleep at the wheel while driving in the remote Mid West, which is linked to the rollover.
While the two reports largely align on the cause being related to impairment and sleep at the wheel, they place slightly different emphasis in the details provided to the court—one highlighting the licence issue, and the other focusing on the account that Jackman fell asleep behind the wheel.
