Police are awaiting autopsy results to decide whether there will be more charges over the death of Ms Leadbetter and Mr Field’s unborn child.
He has been charged with two counts of murder and dangerous driving while affected by an intoxicating substance. Police alleged the teenager, from the Logan suburb of Waterford West, had been driving dangerously while “affected with an intoxicating substance” after allegedly stealing the Landcruiser about an hour before the two crashes. Mr Edie’s truck was impounded for evidence, and he cannot work until the police complete their investigation, Ms Rasborsek said.ĭaniel Edie’s tow truck was hit by the 4WD before it rolled onto a pregnant couple and killed them at Alexandra Hills. “He stayed and cleaned up the accident scene as everything was taken away that night.” “He also immediately went into automatic mode and diverted traffic away from the scene,” she said. Ms Rasborsek said in the moments after the crash, her brother jumped out to try to help Ms Leadbetter and Mr Field. “We are extremely lucky and grateful that he only received cuts and bruises and no serious physical injuries but the mental and emotional impact is greater then we can imagine for him.” Matt Field and Kate Leadbetter were killed in the hit-and-run. “He’s no longer just someone attending a scene like emergency services, but he was in it and split seconds from, you know, a different scenario.
“As a passenger in a vehicle that … seeing it happen in front of him and being so helpless, that changes the whole scenario,” Samantha Rasborsek said. Mr Edie was too distraught to talk, but stood alongside his sister on Friday morning as she gave a short statement on his behalf.
