The Road Crash that claimed my son Dion

On 8 August 2007 at 3.06am  I lost my Eldest son in a COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE  Road Crash, the Crash happened when an exhausted Dion swerved into the path of an oncoming Stateliner Bus just outside of Port Augusta South Australia he was on his way home from a day trip to Adelaide with his then-girlfriend Stephanie,  this crash was totally avoidable. Dion was only 18 and had his P Plates driving solo for only 2 weeks, when he in his desire to make his Girlfriend happy they went on a day trip to Adelaide, after being pressured to bring his fathers car home ( and yes it says that in the coroners report, so I can say it here)   the crash happened at 1.08 am  he died of multiple injuries well that is what is says on his death certificate, in reality, he had an Atlanto-Occipital Dislocation of the Neck, a 35 cm fracture of the skull, that is what finished him off, other injuries included  2 broken femurs, broken tib, and fib, broken ankle, as well as bruised lungs. If Dion had of survived he would not have had the quality of life he wanted, for that reason I am glad he passed away, he would have needed intensive care for the rest of his life. FACTS ARE  when a parent outlives their child it goes against the natural order of things, so I must take this negative and make it into a positive. My son will not have died for nothing, I also had no idea they had gone out of town, and the events of that night will stay in my mind forever.
