Multiple injuries from motor vehicle accident (road train rollover)
AI-generated summary
A 25-year-old road train driver fell asleep at the wheel on the Victoria Highway, causing a fatal rollover accident. Over nine days before his death, he worked multiple long-haul shifts with minimal rest, achieving fatigue levels equivalent to a blood alcohol content of 0.06-0.09%. His employer, Titan Bulk Transport, had no meaningful fatigue management system beyond distributing a government code of practice pamphlet. The company employed him casually but scheduled him like a permanent employee with irregular, demanding rosters that violated occupational health and safety principles. The coroner found the work schedule 'extremely onerous' and completely outside safe employment practices. Preventable failures included lack of structured fatigue monitoring, roster management, and compliance with the voluntary fatigue code.
