‘MITRA’ should be guiding force in boosting priority sectors FadnavisA coroner has welcomed requirements to fit new vehicles with reversing sensors following the tragic death of a toddler at Wangaratta. or signup to continue reading The 16-month-old girl was run over by her father at their rural property on February 25 last year. The site was under construction and was in disarray. The father believed the girl was about 10 to 20 metres away while he unloaded materials from his utility. He had checked for toys and other items nearby, got into his vehicle about 9.30am, and accidentally ran over her. She was unresponsive and her highly distressed parents rushed her to Wangaratta hospital in another vehicle. Her father believed she was still breathing but despite CPR being performed by hospital staff, the girl died. Police attended the family's property and found loud music was playing from the utility and a generator was also creating noise. The utility did not have a reversing camera or sensors and the rear mirror was poor and did not show the ground near the vehicle. The father wasn't charged. Coroner Audrey Jamieson said, unfortunately, such incidents weren't uncommon. There were 25 such deaths recorded from 2012 to 2023 in Victoria. There are 41 incidents each year in Victoria where children are run over and injured or killed. The one to five age bracket was the most common for deaths, and the majority of those killed were aged one. SUVs and large utilities were overrepresented and there was a spike in low-speed runover deaths last year. The child who died at Wangaratta was one of six killed in the state in 2023. The coroner noted it was unclear how she came to be behind the vehicle but noted obstructed vision and loud noises prevented her father from being aware of her presence. New Australian design rules, which will require new cars to have at least two reverse safety features including sensors, cameras or vibration system, will come into effect in November 2025. The coroner noted it could take some time before all Victorian cars had such features given the average age of vehicles on the road was about 11 years. Kidsafe Victoria is also working on a low-speed runover prevention strategy. "I sincerely hope that the strategy is fruitful, and that Victoria will see a reduction in these tragic deaths," coroner Jamieson said. "The forthcoming requirement for new vehicles to be fitted with reversing sensors and/or cameras will hopefully aid to reduce the frequency of these deaths. "However, I also acknowledge the risk that drivers may become blase and become excessively reliant on these technologies. "It is therefore imperative that these standards are combined, so as to magnify their effect, with public education on the danger of low-speed runovers, particularly in domestic settings." The coroner said the death was a tragic accident and gave her condolences to the girl's parents. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.
