Eastern Freeway truck driver pleads guilty to killing four police officers

The truck driver at the centre of a crash which left four police officers dead on Melbourne's Eastern Freeway has pleaded guilty to causing their deaths.

Police officers Glen Humphris, Kevin King, Lynette Taylor and Joshua Prestney died when Singh's truck slammed into them.Singh is pleading guilty to 10 charges, including four counts of culpable driving causing death, along with drug trafficking and ammunition charges.Constable Glen Humphris, Senior Constable Kevin King, Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor and Constable Joshua Prestney were killed in the crash on April 22.

"Mr Singh would like to be clear that he's very sorry for the deaths of the four police officers," Mr Morrissey said.

This is the story of how the worlds of two morons literally collide, with tragic consequences for scores of others. Think of this tale as you quietly and studiously go about your life tolerating the morons you encounter.

And that folks is how you turn 30,000 pounds of bananas into bacon

Why no headlines about him being a drug trafficker also charged with ammunition offences? The media are being bizarrely quiet around this. I feel like an alleged drug trafficker mowing down 4 cops in a truck should probably be a bigger story.

The mind boggles. I feel for the truck driver. WHY do trucks and cars always encounter stopped or broken down vehicles with hazards blazing on wide-open freeways? Happens all the time! 🤔

Really ABC? Is that what he pleaded guilty to or was it culpable driving? ABC the trusted news source! LOL

Truck driver Mohinder Singh jailed for 22 years after killing four police officers in Melbourne crashTruck driver Mohinder Singh has been jailed for at least 18 years and six months for hitting and killing four police officers on Melbourne's Eastern Freeway. It was a terrible thing. Still how do you reconcile this sentence with the mostly non-custodial sentences that many drivers who killed cyclists have received? Very good result. Sadly the death of the police is mostly circumstantial. For all the faults shown in the trial there is actually no malace aforethought. The truck travelling in the emergency lane is not primarily an offence.
