Naturally our thoughts and prayers are with the injured and also the driver whom many of us know.
Channel 7 (Rural - not national) said he was 54. It gave a clear shot of
the driver but I didn't recognise him.

Unfortunate accident.

I bowed out of doing parades where people and vehicles are mixed quite a few years ago, far too stressful. Worst I have ever seen is the Bayeux D-Day parade in France - people run out in front of the vehicles and lie down to take pics......
Passengers in vehicles throw lollies, which means small children rush in to
pick them up. This is with tracked, 6x6, Ducks etc.
Not my scene.
