Motor Vehicle accident- 1989- completed with thanks

Hi Leanne

Sorry it has taken me a while to get to this as the NLA only holds off-site paper copies of this newspaper so  iI had to wait for it to be brought from the other site.  I am assuming this is the accident that you were enquiring about -
 

from The Chronicle, Wednesday March 22, 1989 (Maryborough, Qld)

The whole front page tells of an accident in which 6 people died - a Hervey Bay family of four (Petronella Barrett and her children Michelle16, Kristy, 14 and Gary 12), a Maryborough woman (Patricia Madders 52), and the truck driver (Graham Roy Kirby, 35 of Marsden).  The truck was travelling north and collided with four cars travelling south.

I have photocopied the page and another page from the following day's paper as there is too much to transcribe.

If you PM me your address I'll post it to you.

Cheers, Judith
