AI-generated summary
Collin Young, aged 45, died after being struck by a Toyota Landcruiser utility driven by Isaiah Reiman on Beerburrum Road, Caboolture on 11-12 June 2021. Young was standing on the dark road wearing dark clothing and headphones playing loud music, having left home intoxicated following an argument with his wife. The vehicle was travelling at approximately 100 km/h when it struck Young, causing catastrophic injuries fatal within seconds to minutes. The coroner found insufficient evidence that Reiman was aware he struck a person at the time of collision. While Reiman's family members reported he told them he hit a kangaroo, and some accounts suggest he may have been distracted by his vehicle's breathalyser device, the coroner could not definitively establish these as contributing factors. Emergency services response was timely but Young's injuries were unsurvivable regardless. No evidence supported intentional self-harm by Young. No criminal referrals were made.
