A bus driver involved in a fatal collision says he would “do everything the same” again, as he did not see a young cyclist before hitting him. A forensic crash investigator also told an inquest he was “alarmed” by the configuration of traffic lights that appeared to tell both pedestrians and turning motor vehicles to proceed through an intersection at the same time.
Family of young cyclist killed at intersection calls for change as inquiry probes fatal incident. Max McDowall, 20, was killed when he was riding on a shared bicycle and pedestrian path and was struck by a bus turning left at an intersection to a dedicated busway on May 27, 2021 in the inner-Brisbane suburb of Woolloongabba. The Brisbane City Council bus was driven by Andrew Rudnicki, who was initially charged with a minor traffic offence in relation to the collision that was later dropped.
