Make breakdown lanes wider: grieving dad

The father of a young woman who died after being hit by a truck will present NSW Acting Premier Andrew Stoner with a petition calling for safer highway breakdown lanes.

Sarah Frazer, 23, died on February 15 after her car had broken down on the Hume Highway, south of Mittagong, in the state’s Southern Highlands.

Tow truck driver Geoff Clark, 40, was also killed after he had stopped to help.

Peter Frazer says the breakdown lane where they died was narrow and dangerous.

He is presenting the petition on Tuesday morning and calling on state parliament to debate the need for breakdown lanes to be at least 2.5 metres wide.

Mr Frazer said he started the petition, which has more than 10,000 signatures, to ensure that no other family lost loved ones in such preventable circumstances.

A truck driver was charged over the deaths in March.
