Coronial report into death of Canberra boy Blake Corney recommends tougher health screening for truck drivers
The final coronial report into the death of four-year-old Blake Corney has recommended tougher health screening for truck drivers, and incentives for autonomous emergency braking and fatigue sensor systems to be placed in trucks.
Blake Corney died of catastrophic head injuries when a truck ploughed into his family's car as they waited at the lights on the Monaro Highway in July 2018.
The truck driver, Akis Livas, pleaded guilty to culpable driving causing death, and was sentenced to more than three years in jail.
