On March 19th, here's the latest out of Sydney. A 40-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to careless driving, causing death after his vehicle smashed into a freight train at a rural level crossing. Near Albany. The crash happened in July of last year on Redmond Hay River Road, about 400 kilometers south of Perth. Hyden Thomas Mansell was behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi Triton that collided with a grain train. His 29-year-old wife Kayley, who sat in the passenger seat, died at the scene. There are three young children escaped with minor injuries and got medical treatment. The two train crew members were unheard physically, but received care for shock. The incident sparked fresh demands for better safety at regional rail crossings, with locals pointing out dangers at spots like Redmond. Mansell entered his plea briefly during his appearance in Albany Magistrate's Court. Prosecutors listed 21 witnesses, though not all may testify at the upcoming two-day trial set for October.
