Overview
- Jurors heard dashcam recordings of Tancredo Bankhardt sobbing and saying “there’s nothing to be done” before the A146 collision.
- Prosecutors say he spent about two hours retracing the route and then drove into oncoming traffic at about 74 mph on a 60 mph stretch.
- The court was told he fixed the seatbelts into their buckles and sat the children on top so none were restrained.
- A witness described calls and voice notes in which he spoke about “the way out” and said he hoped God would not treat him badly “up there”.
- Two children and another motorist were seriously hurt in the 8:33 pm crash on the Loddon bypass, and the 41-year-old denies three counts of attempted murder and related dangerous-driving charges.
