"Constable Dawson's police vehicle was stationary, well off the roadway, underneath the Porters Bridge Road overpass." Mr Cooper said the driver of the other car, Demi Jones took "evasive action" but was unable to avoid colliding with the other vehicle.Their three children were taken to the Launceston General Hospital, suffering many injuries including fractures to the spine, leg, and ribs.
