Bail refused over fatal Christmas Eve crash
http://www.theage.com.au/national/ba...0109-7dao.html
A drink-driver allegedly high on drugs when he crashed into two brothers cycling along Beach Road in Mentone on Christmas Eve, killing one of them, has been refused bail. Magistrate Maurice Gurvich said Luke Adam Shields, 31, would pose an unacceptable risk to the public if released on bail. Mr Shields had a blood alcohol reading of 0.221 after the incident and admitted he had taken LSD a couple of hours earlier. He was travelling at 90kmh in a 60kmh zone at the time of the crash, it has been alleged. Sean Brindle, 35, of Western Australia, died after being hit by Shields, who is charged with culpable driving. Mr Brindle's brother Alun, 33, an aeronautical engineer with the Australian Navy, remains in a critical condition in hospital. Shields was remanded in custody to reappear in court in May. |
