Mum Charged Over Crash That Critically Injured Her Two Young Daughters

A pregnant mum has been charged over a crash earlier this year that critically injured two of her young daughters.

The mother was driving her Holden Commodore station wagon with three of her children as passengers when the crash happened on the rural crossing after the station wagon was hit by a freight train at Moorland, north of Taree, and sent it rolling 30 metres into a paddock in April 21.

Two of the girls, aged two and seven, suffered critical head injuries from the accident and continue to receive treatment, while the mum and her five-year-old daughter, who was seated behind the driver, escaped with only minor injuries. Her seven-year-old daughter was travelling in the front passenger seat, and her two-year-old daughter was seated in the middle rear.

After an extensive investigation, the mother has been charged last Friday with two counts of dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, and one count of negligent driving causing grievous bodily harm.

The mother’s driver’s licence has already been suspended and she’s been granted bail and is expected to appear in Newcastle Local Court on Monday.
