Bail Granted for Mall Bike Crash Driver | Australia News

Two twelve-year-olds were critically injured after allegedly being hit by a ute in a mall— one with a collapsed lung and broken bones, the other with a concussion. The 56-year-old driver, Andrew Brien, faces multiple charges including reckless conduct endangering life, yet was granted bail despite the severity of the incident. The family of one victim, who witnessed the aftermath, is outraged and questioning whether current bail laws protect victims adequately. CCTV shows the vehicle narrowly missed them before making a U-turn and striking them, then allegedly ran over one boy without stopping. Brien now faces curfew and driving restrictions. The family also condemned online racist and false comments that worsened their trauma, calling on politicians to reform bail laws to better safeguard children and victims during legal processes.
