Seems to me that there are more truck crashes than normal. Or is it just a beat up? or are the old experienced drivers dying out. ?

We saw a dead camel & another one with a pretty serious leg injury beside the Great Central Road in 2019.

Many years ago on the Paraburdoo, to Asburton Downs road, we came across a camel calf and his mum, on the side of the road. The calf was still standing, but had a bad gash on the lower part of it's left rear leg, and it was bleeding profusely. Managed to get close to it, and it was pretty bad. The cow, was cautious with us, but let me inspect the calf. I went to our first aid box, got a bandage, some disinfectant, and managed to bandage it up. I am sure it would have been able to rip the bandage off sometime down the track, but it did seem to not have too much trouble walking off. Even if they are vermin, I did not have a gun to shoot it, and but I also regard all living things should have a chance to live. I am an animal warrior, and do this for any animal I see injured. It is mainly from vehicle injuries, which is why a carry a fully stocked first aid kit in the car at all times.
