Perhaps the van may have been too big for the Rodeo.

It was a big tri-axle job. Didn't know that P-platers could tow trailers in Victoria. And definitely looked over large for the tug.

Gday...
I think "The driver is assisting police with their inquiries and the investigation is ongoing." is Police-speak for "nabbed ya sunshine".

He just thought he would take a short cut to the cross road.

Considering that that is the same off ramp I use..
From where they say he's from Dandenong North..
I would say that he was[ - NOT NOW - ] heading down to the beach for new Year's..
My guess.. would be a Micro Sleep.. it was 6:40am when/there about for this accident happened..
See this is Why you Don't get on the Road Before 8:00 if you Can help it... Shekon you were right....
Mmm anyone know of a Caravan Wrecker..
Juergen..
As I say.. A micro Sleep..

I went for a drive today and returned via the Link..
Where he went of the road is a Slight Bend..
- I think he micro sleeped.. Locked the hand straight ahead..
- Went off the road into the shallow swale beside the road and Keep on going and I would say @ 90+Km/h he went up the slope Real quick and was lucky that he did not pile into the side of the Bridge..
- Only the fact that the soil near the bridge is not compact is why he did not slam into the bridge..
Gday...
This hopefully may take everyone's mind off dogs, smoking, garlic, hamburgers, hotdogs, sad humour etc .... focus on a foolish 21-year-old P-plater.
Big van - ute - always gonna be a disaster I guess.
