AI-generated summary
Lee-Anne Gai McLennan died in a motor vehicle collision on the Capricorn Highway near Rockhampton, Queensland on 4 June 2007. She was a front seat passenger in a white Commodore driven by Helen Gledhill when a green Commodore driven by Brett Turner, a young P-plate driver, crossed into oncoming traffic. Turner had been texting while driving and was following too close to traffic ahead. Evidence indicated a third vehicle side-swiped Turner's vehicle, causing him to lose control and collide with Gledhill's car. The coroner identified texting while driving, preoccupation with the journey, and following too close as causes. No charges were laid, and no formal recommendations were made.
