IMAGINE YOURSELF FREE FROM ADDICTION!
Who Answers?

It just becomes crazy when people consume too much alcohol without even thinking that it’s already too much. Alcoholic people can’t just never have enough of alcohol. In fact, it seems like the more they have it, the more that they want it. But why do people get addicted to alcohol. For sure, there are a lot of reasons that come to mind. For some, they consume it when they have to socialise with other people. There are those who consider this as an escape from their problems. Yes, sometimes alcohol does help. But when it puts the life of other people in danger or worse, in death, there comes the big problem.

Just like this man who apparently drank 4o cans of beer leading to a crash which caused the death of his son. This is a very unfortunate event and a really sad one when the life of an innocent is lost just because of one’s mere addiction. This is why alcohol rehab is very necessary to serve as a preventive measure before things get worse and things like this happen again.

The 35-year-old man, from Kialla in north-east Victoria, has been charged with culpable driving and dangerous driving causing death following the crash in Shepparton on the weekend.

Police say a Holden Commodore was travelling west on Wanganui Road when it left the road and hit a pole near Kittles Road about 1:00am on Saturday morning.

The driver’s 12-year-old son, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was killed on impact.

Two other children, aged 10 and 14, were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Shepparton Magistrates’ Court heard the accused had a learners permit and took the children to a fast food restaurant prior to the crash but is believed to have no memory of doing so.

It is alleged the driver had been drinking since 4:00pm on Friday afternoon until just before the crash, consuming up to 40 cans of alcohol.

His partner allegedly tried to take the car keys off him but after returning from the bathroom found he had left with the children, the court heard.

The court heard the man was driving within the speed limit when the crash happened.

There were no witnesses to the crash.

The defence said the man’s mental health was deteriorating rapidly and has requested he see a psychologist as soon as possible.

The man remains in custody and did not appear in court.

The case will return to court in September, and a committal mention has been scheduled for November.
