Mother To Face Court Over Train Smash

BY IAN CROUCH

 A pregnant mother of three is due to front Newcastle Local Court in August over a collision with a train near Taree.

A Commodore station wagon was hit by a freight train on a  rural crossing at Moorland on Thursday April 21, leaving two girls aged 7 and 2 with critical head injuries.


The driver and a 5-year-old girl in the back seat escaped serious injury.

Police have now charged a 30-year-old woman with two counts of dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm and one count of negligent driving - her licence has also been suspended.
