The road where the crash occurred, Rocky Point Road, has a long history of accidents, with locals demanding speed cameras to be installed to reduce the risk of further incidents. In the past 20 years, there have been at least 120 accidents at this corner, according to a local resident.

The crash scene was confronting for emergency responders, with Detective Acting Superintendent Graham Hibbs describing it as 'a horrific scene.' The Audi driver, Tamati Gilbert , was found to be travelling at 'considerable speeds' moments before the crash,according to CCTV footage.

The incident has raised questions about the safety of the road and the need for speed cameras. Locals have been calling for change for years, but it takes a tragedy like this for action to be taken. 'Unfortunately, it takes for people to die for change to be made,' said a local resident.

The road where the crash occurred has been closed, causing major traffic delays and diversions. A report will be prepared for the coroner,and police will investigate whether the Audi driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Who is the unnamed buyer?

The Audi driver's partner had raised 'grave concerns' for his mental health before the crash. Police were called to their home in Gymea Bay to conduct a welfare check, but the driver sped off before they could speak to him.

The family of Seamus Duignan has demanded a comprehensive investigation into the crash that claimed his life. 'There needs to be a complete inquest into what caused this crash,' said his mother,Kim Duignan.

The mangled Audi was still at the scene hours after it flipped over a concrete barrier and landed on a rideshare on Rocky Point Road at Sans Souci.
