Call for balanced media reporting on truck accidents

Following another fatality involving a truck on January 5, Dianne Carroll, CEO of the Trans-Help Foundation is pleading with the mainstream media to give careful consideration to all involved when reporting of such tragic incidents.

Carroll says an initial report in Sydneys Daily Telegraph detailed an accident on the Newell Highway on January 5, which resulted in a multiple fatality, had stated that a truck had slammed into a car.

A similar report was published in another News Limited publication, the Macarthur Chronicle, following at accident that occurred near Batemans Bay the previous week.

Trans-Help supports drivers and families following accidents and continuously sees the additional trauma these reports have on the families, Carroll says.
