There's been multiple fatal crashes on the Bruce Highway this week. Experts say we must change our attitudes and behaviour.
The 23-year-old from Rockhampton in regional Queensland is facing her 18th Father's Day without her dad.
"This road wasn't lit and my dad only really had the bike and his leathers to protect him," she said."His riding partner found him lying on the gravel. He was unable to speak, unable to move and in unbearable pain," Ms Collett said. A decade later, Ms Collett faced more heartbreak when her best friend Olivia Harwood and her mother Beverly Harwood, were killed in a crash on the Warrego Highway in October 2018."A truck driver pushed a ute into their oncoming car. Due to a single moment of poor judgement, a bright and talented 17-year-old had her life cut short."
