2 Pinoys killed in accident while helping clear road in Australia
Two Filipinos who were helping clear a road of a fallen tree in Australia last Friday night were killed when a car slammed into them, reports said.
The reports did not identify the victims, but a report on The Standard described them as “farm workers” who were “in their 30s.”
The Standard report said the two were killed instantly when they were hit by a Ford sedan that was carrying six people, including children.
The report said the incident occurred on Heywood-Woolsthorpe Road near Drunmore Lane in Broadwater, a district in the Australian state of Queensland.
Citing Sergeant Callum McKinnon of Warrnambool police, The Standard said the two fatalities were traveling east in a Toyota ute when they came across the large cypress tree blocking the road.
A passenger, a 58-year-old man, was also killed, it said.
Citing police investigators, a report on Newcastle Herald said the two Filipinos and another man were attempting to remove a large tree that had fallen across the road when the incident happened.
It said the weather was “wet and windy” at the time of the accident.
