Police officer’s fatal collision case postponed
Originally set for Tuesday in Traffic Court, the hearing has been postponed to June 4.
Vincent-Urlwin is accused of driving a Jeep Wrangler involved in the collision with Dyer’s motorcycle on September 4, resulting in the officer’s tragic demise.
The collision occurred around 11:20 am on the Sir Sydney Walling Highway, with Dyer traveling east to west and the Jeep heading in the opposite direction.
Allegedly making a right turn into Luna Park, the defendant collided with the officer, who had just overtaken some vehicles.
If the case proceeds to the High Court, Vincent-Urlwin will answer to the charge before a judge in the High Court, potentially leading to a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment if convicted.
