Our client and his friend (complainant) were enjoying a regular pastime of four wheel driving on sand dunes north of Perth when the car rolled after driving in a wide circle went awry. The complainant had been riding on the outside of the 4WD driven by our client and was crushed when the vehicle rolled. Despite a protracted two-year legal dispute and immense stress on our client, in a three day District Court trial a jury took just an hour to absolve our client of criminal responsibility for the life threatening injuries sustained by the complainant in the tragic accident.
