In a recently released WorkSafe report into the incident, it said Jacobsen was at the site that day to get a Certificate of Fitness for his Isuzu truck. He waited for the examination to be done and then kept wandering around the same area waiting for the documentation to be completed. While waiting, he spent a few minutes on the phone. At this time a vehicle inspector got into the bus parked in a laneway. While waiting for the air pressure to build so he could close the doors, he saw Jacobsen standing several metres away. At this point Jacobsen had moved to a corner garden and stood with his back to the site, still on the phone.
The incident happened in the King Country town of Te Kūiti early on Saturday morning (file photo).
A man who showed up uninvited at a Te Kūiti home allegedly put one of the occupants in hospital with a facial injury. He’s been charged in relation to an “incident in the driveway of the King Country home on Saturday morning, Senior Sergeant Craig Singer of the Waikato District Command Centre said. “One of the occupants received a reasonably significant laceration to their face.” Police were called to a house on the northeastern side of the town not long before 8am on Saturday, where a man had been injured.
