NHVR prosecutes Director of a concrete manufacturer over fatal collision
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is urging all operators to review the roadworthiness of their fleets following the prosecution of a company Director who failed to maintain and service a fleet of heavy vehicles, resulting in the death of one of their drivers in October 2020.
The Director was convicted and fined $42,000 for a category 2 offence under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) following an incident involving a driver employed by the company who was killed when they were unable to maneuver a road turn and collided with a tree.
