Overview
- Sandy Sandhu, 33, was struck in the emergency lane at Dry Creek just after midnight Sunday while jump‑starting his car and died in hospital.
- Police allege 22-year-old Harrison Beckell fled the scene after hitting Sandhu, with witnesses reporting a ute swerving across lanes before the impact.
- Beckell was arrested hours later at an Andrews Farm address, and a SAPOL spokesman said he returned a 0.130 alcohol reading nearly two hours after the crash.
- He appeared at Elizabeth Magistrates Court charged with causing death by dangerous driving and leaving the scene, and was released on supervisory bail ahead of a June 11 hearing.
- Sandhu’s widow, who is on a student visa, and their two young children are receiving community support through a GoFundMe that has raised more than $40,000.
