McLean was driving a B-double Mack truck carting grain when he looked up and saw stationary traffic at Calga, west of Gosford, in July 2018.

The truck rode up on to the ute's back tray, causing the vehicle to burst into flames, killing the two men inside. McLean, from Wallsend, pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm. Ms Dengate told her husband: "Oh my God, that fellow is not going to stop. He's not even slowing down."Five seconds later they watched as the truck careered into the queue of traffic. They heard an explosion and saw a wall of fire.
