Truck Driver Guilty in Fatal Crash

0:00It's May 1st. I'm Cory with the story. This is Adelaide News today, driven by AI. A truck driver in Canberra just got hit with a guilty verdict for negligent driving that caused a death. Forty-three-year-old Sean Joshua Walton was cleared of the heavier culpable driving charge, but nailed on the lesser one after a crash last June. Eighteenth that killed 47-year-old motorcyclist Craig O'Neill. Walton was hauling his two daughters to sports practice in his Isuzu Tipper truck when he turned right at a busy hole intersection and slammed into. O'Neill's black Harley Davidson, the bike rider didn't survive his injuries, and prosecutors hammered Walton for not keeping a proper lookout, saying he had a clear view from his elevated truck cab but got fixated on a red car nearby. Defense fireback that it was a tragic accident at dusk, with low light making the dark bike tough to spot, no drugs, no speeding, just a split-second error anyone could make.

1:00The jury took less than a day to decide, after seeing CCTV from a bus and a police reconstruction drive. Eyewitnesses called it a freak mishap. Sentencing comes next before acting just as Peter Berman, a reminder that one bad glance on the road can change lives forever.
