Guilty of culpable driving, a man from Victoria has been found responsible after colliding with an oncoming vehicle, resulting in the deaths of three family members.
In the Victorian County Court, it was revealed that Gurwinder Singh, 25, lost control of his Ford Falcon after he attempted to overtake a semi-trailer, crashing into a VW Golf that was being driven by 55-year-old Basil Rehe.
The fiery collision near Merton, northeast of Melbourne, in May 2009 tragically claimed the lives of Mr. Rehe, his 45-year-old wife Robyn Rehe, and his sister Suzanne Rehe, leaving a 12-year-old girl without parents.
Additionally, three other individuals sustained serious injuries.
Before the crash, Singh exhibited reckless behavior by speeding, overtaking multiple vehicles, and driving in a grossly negligent manner.
A jury in the County Court today found Singh, of Murrumbeena, guilty on three counts of culpable driving resulting in death and three counts of negligently causing serious injury.
He has been remanded in custody, with sentencing scheduled for a later date to be determined.
