Allan Kelson, the driver of the other vehicle, said he was surprised to learn of Mundy's position. "Very surprised … from a supposedly high-standing member of the community upholding the law," he said. Mundy claimed he was unaware of the crash until police contacted him weeks later. He did not appear in court, but his lawyer entered guilty pleas on his behalf to two charges, including failing to stop. Allan Kelson, the driver of the other vehicle, said he was surprised to learn of Mundy's position. (9News) The magistrate chose not to record a conviction against the 56-year-old, citing his extensive service to the community. Testimonials, the magistrate noted, "really paint him, quite rightly, as an amazing person who's made a one-off mistake". Mundy was ordered to pay a $2000 fine. Kelson handed over his dashcam to police, who then issued him with an expiation for failing to give way.

Driver error and speed blamed for spate of Tasmanian rally deaths
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Driver error was to blame for the deaths of four competitors in three separate crashes in a world-renowned road rally event, a coroner has ruled. Veteran driver Shane Navin was killed in 2021 when his 1979 Mazda RX-7 crashed into a creek on a west coast section of the Targa Tasmania course.

(Supplied) In 2022, Anthony Seymour died on a mountainous section of the course when his Lotus Exige S Coupe crashed through a wire barrier and down an embankment. Coroner Simon Cooper, who investigated the deaths, said he was satisfied driver error was the cause of each accident. Mundy and Seymour were driving at excessive speed and in vehicles designed specifically for racing on racetracks. The coroner questioned whether such cars, built for controlled environments, should be used in variable conditions on public roads that don't have purpose-built safety features. Navin "fishtailed" in wet conditions, ending upside down in a creek. His surviving co-driver was unable to revive him, with assistance from a "sweep" car not arriving until 32 minutes after the accident. Shane Navin died in a crash on Lyell Highway, Mount Arrowsmith when his Mazda RX7 rolled during a Targa event. (Google Maps) Mundy had approached a crest at 188.5km/h and had either "ignored or overlooked" information in race notes and a warning on a board. Seymour lost control at 101km/h in wet conditions and could have gotten into trouble when reacting to two bumper bars, left by other competitors, on the roadway. The coroner said the event at the time had no system in place to report debris left behind. Targa Tasmania is set to return in November with a range of safety changes and a shift to a spring timeslot. An internal review by race organisers made 94 recommendations, including changes to average maximum speed, course signage and power-to-weight ratios. "The passage of time has given us an amazing opportunity to undertake a detailed review of the event," Targa Australia chief executive Mike Perry said in 2024. This is the third death in 24 hours and fifth in 29 years for the Targa Australia event (Supplied) The coroner said the recommendations, most of which had been implemented, were comprehensive and addressed issues raised at the inquest. He believed neither Mundy nor Seymour should have been competing because of their health. Each of the four men who died were over 59 and were taking medication for pre-existing conditions. Mundy had heart disease and Seymour an inflammatory disease, vocal cord paralysis and had recently had COVID-19. "Nonetheless, individual responsibility is not something that can be overlooked," the coroner said. "All of the men who died ... were experienced competitors. They all knew the risks of competing and voluntarily assumed those risks." tasmania Racing motorsport national crashes courts CONTACT US Property News: The last inner Sydney suburbs where houses cost under $2m.

‘Rainbow Road' mural painted for WorldPride in DC
WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — There's a new LGBTQ mural in the District just in time for the start of WorldPride. It's a colorful display on 15th Street NW, but it also adds a safety component for families. Steady brush strokes are slowly turning regular pavement into a rainbow road. 'Everything's coming together,' said Lisa Marie Thalhammer. Thalhammer is the lead artist with a mission to 'just bring joy and color and creativity into the community.' LIST: WorldPride events kicking off this weekend It's part of the WorldPride celebrations just getting underway in D.C., funded by the Capital Pride Alliance. 'This is a really special time for the city, and we really… want to celebrate,' Thalhammer said. 'We don't want to shy away from showing our colors and celebrating who we are and being visible.' More than 100 volunteers are helping to visually separate the space between parked cars and the bike lane. Thalhammer said as far as she knows, it's the longest LGBTQ mural that's ever been created, stretching all the way from O Street NW up to V Street NW. 'So many bikers are saying thank you. Thank you for making this bike lane safer. And I think safety is a really important part of this project,' Thalhammer said. 'It's stunning. Like I walked by and just put a big smile on my face. I like how they've separated here at, like, a stop sign, so there's not as much crisscross,' said Nicholas Field, who was visiting from New York City. The project also features eight LGBTQ artists, including Mx Mundy. 'The piece is called We Exist. Recently, our administration has literally said that non-binary people and people that live outside the binary gender don't exist. And that doesn't mean we just poof and disappear,' Mundy said. 'But also, there is so much joy and celebration in knowing who you are. And that is what I wanted to express in this piece.' The artists wanted to keep the project under wraps until it was almost done for fear the Trump administration would somehow squash the project. Mundy said their piece and the entire project is about bringing joy to others. 'This person walked by the other day and they were like, 'you know, I'm from a small town, and this just makes me so happy,'' Mundy said. 'I said, I want you to look at this piece. I want everyone to look at this piece and know that they are seen and that they are safe.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
