Two killed in smashes

Two killed in smashes: "The driver of the early-model Ford sedan was killed when his car crossed to the wrong side of the road and slammed into a tree."
More young men driving into trees and poles. Too young. Why? It's common now. It cannot be any easier for the police and rescue squads. It has to be devastating the families and yet it is still happening. This car went onto the wrong side of the road. There has to be a reason. We have to confront it. We have to get through to these young drivers. Gum trees are as big and solid as our land. We know young people test the boundaries and take risks, but you just do not go up against a gum tree. Maybe they think they will be the one to beat it. What is going through their heads? Our ambulance crews and police are doing it hard. The families are doing it harder.
