The manager who worked for the trucking company that Mohinder Singh, who killed four police officers on the Eastern Freeway, drove for faced court on Monday.
A truck driver was on a cocktail of drugs and alcohol days before a fatal crash
Mohinder Singh pleaded guilty to culpable driving at a Melbourne court
The 48-year-old was behind the wheel when he hit and killed four police officers
The officers were struck by Singh s semi-trailer while impounding a Porsche
A court heard the driver was drug-f ed and hadn t slept for days before crash
Singh was sentenced on Wednesday to 22 years in prison for the atrocity
It was not uncommon for him to speak to his family about witches and ghosts. But that day was different.
“The way he was acting that day scared me and I told him he was going to kill someone if he drove,” the 21-year-old told Melbourne magistrates court on Monday.
“His voice was racing, his pupils were bigger. He seemed pretty terrified.”
She gave evidence on the first day of a committal hearing in the case against trucking boss Simiona Tuteru, who is facing 82 charges including manslaughter.
The committal is expected to examine what the Connect Logistics manager knew about Singh’s impaired state and what he did, if anything, to encourage him to drive.
