Police say the driver who caused a fiery head-on crash that killed four people in Perth early Monday morning made a "conscious decision" to drive on the wrong side of the road.

Link copiedShareShare articlePolice say a driver who caused a fiery head-on crash that killed four people on a major Perth highway early Monday morning  made a "conscious decision" to drive on the wrong side of the road. WARNING: This story contains details and pictures that may cause distress. The crash on Leach Highway near Perth's airport instantly killed a mother and her daughter, who were both in the back seat of a taxi being driven by a 58-year-old man, who was also killed. Police say a Toyota RAV4 SUV was travelling on the wrong side of the highway when it hit the taxi at high speed at about 3:40am on Monday. A car destroyed in a crash and subsequent fire sits on Leach Highway in Cloverdale. (ABC News: Ruby Littler) The driver of the SUV, which burst into flames upon impact, has not been able to be identified. Police say they have evidence to conclude that person made a "conscious decision" to drive on the wrong side of Leach Highway, which has lanes separated by a centre wall. Major Crash officers are investigating whether or not the person deliberately intended to hurt people. The two women killed were aged 56 and 81 and had just entered the highway, travelling south-west away from the Tonkin Highway and Airport Drive interchange. Emergency services clean up the wreck of a car on Leach Highway. (ABC News: Mitchell Edgar) Pictures shared on social media in the early hours of Monday morning show a car on fire on Leach Highway, with another vehicle completely wrecked, as emergency services attempted to control the scene. Detective Senior Sergeant Hugh Letessier said it was a tragedy. "It's such a tragic event for that family — not just for that family who've lost a mother and daughter ...  there's four families who have been impacted by this," he said. He said police had evidence to suggest the man was driving erratically through nearby suburbs prior to the crash, before travelling the wrong way down the highway off-ramp. Police have retrieved some dash-cam footage from the wreck of the RAV4 that detail the car's movements prior to the crash. But Detective Letessier said it's unclear why the driver chose to enter on the highway off-ramp. "We know what happened, and our investigation is now focusing on why, but I can't answer that at this stage." Detective Letessier said he was surprised the dash-cam footage survived the fire, which he described as "very fierce". "The files on that SD card indicate he was driving through the streets of Belmont and Cloverdale prior to the incident, and he was driving well in excess of the posted speed limit," Detective Letessier said. All of the people killed in the crash were from WA. The impact left both vehicles unrecognisable.  (ABC News) "It's almost the most horrific incident you could attend as ... the police officer in a road crash scenario, very confronting," Detective Letessier said. WA Premier Roger Cook urged road users to take greater care. "We have had a horrific start to the new year," he said. "We will continue to make sure that we make the investments in road infrastructure, in laws, in education to continue to drive the message home in relation to road safety. Roger Cook wants road users to take care.  (ABC News: Ruby Littler) "But we need people to make good decisions, as well.  "We need them to wear a seatbelt, we need them to drive to the conditions, not speed, not drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol, not be distracted by their phones. "Our current road safety review will come down in the next few months, that will be another opportunity for us to make sure we are putting measures in place to continue to keep people safe on our roads." Meanwhile, a 59-year-old cyclist was also killed in a crash south of Perth, involving a rubbish truck. Authorities say that incident happened about 4:30am at the intersection of Spearwood Avenue and Howson Way in Bibra Lake. WA's 2024 road toll was 186 people dead, the highest since 2016.

prices and the national debt during Trudeau’s reign as well as a steep rise in hospital wait-times and in the cost of groceries So for me the most important issue is economic management and the fiscally responsible use of taxpayer dollars to avoid the inflation and high interest rates that come from spiralling debt but his focus was on government bills that restricted online speech Trudeau’s government became world famous for its flirtations with radical woke policies which saw him repeatedly take a knee to voter blocks that he wished to appease he all but cancelled Canada Day to virtue

he passed away on Easter Monday Principal Clive Heah set up a portrait of the Pope and a solitary red candle near the altar in Precious Blood Roman Catholic Church Students and teachers took time throughout the day to walk across the parking lot to pray for the repose of the late pontiff's soul it was important to set something up in the church and give time for classes to visit the church to pray He said there were heavy emotions in the morning as the kids returned for their first day back to school after Easter Weekend “There was a deep sadness with his passing because we can all relate so well to this Pope,” Heah explained He and his staff felt it would be more meaningful for the kids to go into the church and spend some time there rather than each class doing something on their own or the whole school praying for the Pope over the intercom the Pope was different than any other pope,” said Heah “His service and his humility really spoke to the younger generation.” Heah said they talk about the Pope at school a lot “The kids are very aware of the Holy Father,” he added “I think it’s important for us to pay respect to him and to the service he's given … to the whole Catholic world.” He said even if he hadn’t set up the picture in the church and asked the teachers to take their classes over he thinks his teachers would likely taken the kids over on their own anyway as the church is available to the classes most days I think everyone was looking for a bit of time today,” he explained it’s that much more powerful and meaningful” The more Heah learns about the late pontiff the more he hopes the next leader of the Catholic Church is like Pope Francis He wanted to live with the employees of the Vatican in very simple I just think he’s brought so much good attention to our faith in a time when Catholicism doesn't always get the best attention.” Heah said he thinks Pope Francis’s legacy will include the acknowledgement of the injustices that happened to Indigenous Peoples in Canada “He was the first pope to acknowledge the wrongs that were done to our Indigenous people,” he added “I know that for Canadians that will probably be the most important thing (they remember) That will be the legacy Pope Francis leaves behind The apology and coming here to Canada to deliver that apology.” Idaho Transportation Department The Idaho Transportation Department has securely fastened 32 new American flags onto the Cloverdale Overpass replacing the damaged ones that were removed Wednesday due to vandalism These flags serve as a visible tribute to the fallen airmen who tragically lost their lives in a 2018 crash ITD is also exploring options for a permanent memorial or other lasting ways to honor them at this site in the future “Vandalism of this type is not typical in Idaho Working with community members and the Boise Police Department our crew took quick action to remove the damaged flags and replace them with new ones we made sure the entire process was carried out with the utmost respect,” ITD Chief Deputy Director Dan McElhinney said ITD is deeply committed to supporting those who have served our country as reflected by the 167 veterans currently employed by the department making up more than ten percent of its workforce This underscores ITD’s respect for military service and the invaluable contributions these individuals make to the department’s mission and success American Legion Post 201 will hold a flag decommissioning ceremony in the near future to properly retire the damaged American flags The Surrey community came out in large numbers even with little notice to mourn lives lost in Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Festival tragedy Surrey Philippine Independence Day Society held a vigil Our Lady of Good Counsel Church on Sunday evening (April 27) to honour the victims of Vancouver's Lapu Lapu Festival The Filipino festival has so far seen 11 deaths after a man now identified as 30-year-old Kai-Ji Adam Lo rammed through in an SUV striking dozens of people on Saturday (April 26) While an unknown number still remain in hospital in serious condition many in the Filipino and wider community gathered at the church to offer prayers and support to those impacted "It was a great turnout especially considering it was just a five-hour notice only shared on Facebook," said Narima Dela Cruz and everyone was there to offer emotional support to the victims and their families." It was a packed house with many bringing out flowers and candles as well Dela Cruz was supposed to be at the festival the day-of but it fell on her birthday so instead she celebrated with the Surrey Filipino community as she does annually so I feel there was a divine intervention," she said and it's sad to think that next year I'll be reminded of the pain and the memories of this tragedy." The community advocate was at Bear Creek Park when her phone started ringing right after the attack and watching videos on social media took over the night until she and the rest decided to drive to Vancouver themselves to support as they could I know this is the time to be strong for my community I know I need to be strong for them," she said Dela Cruz said there are about five people directly impacted by the tragedy; she spoke to three survivors on the day of the festival alerting everyone that once more victims are identified then a more fulsome list of those impacted will be released "Unless there's a post from the affected ones themselves saying they need help if they survived or if their loved ones passed away we don't know exactly where to send the help," she said "Generally I think the consensus in our community is to focus on helping the affected families and loved ones and our call is that this is not a time to spread hate or blaming We just need to be there and be strong for each other and be there for the affected ones."

"We need to fight Trump's tariffs with counter tariffs of our own that will cause maximum damage in the United States," Carney said Carney added Canada needs to protect workers and businesses "using every single dollar of those tariffs."  He said Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre "pocketed all the money Over the course of the night three people were removed from the Agriplex at different times by security after yelling comments about genocide Their yelling was quickly drowned by chants each time Carney later said he'd work to build more homes in Canada aiming to build half a million homes a year "using B.C Carney also said the consumer carbon tax looked good on paper but it was too "divisive," so the Liberals eliminated it.  "It doesn't mean we're stopping the fight against climate change," he explained "We're going to get the big polluters to pay you to save energy through home retrofits .. Carney spoke in both French and English during the speech After the speech he walked through the crowd greeting supporters as they took selfies and shook hands Before the rally, several non-clinical international health-care workers gathered outside and called on Carney to restore the number of provincial nominee program spots in B.C Carney started off the day in Victoria with a press conference, followed by a meet-and-greet, before jumping over to the Lower Mainland for a quick visit with supporters in White Rock and New Westminster before the Cloverdale rally.  The electoral district of Cloverdale-Langley City is expected to be a close contest between the Liberals and the Conservatives Its population is about 60 per cent Cloverdale With seven seats up for grabs in Surrey – in the ridings of Surrey Centre South Surrey-White Rock or Delta – all three major federal party leaders have been spotted in the city during the campaign The Conservative Party held a rally with Poilievre on March 27 in Port Kells.
