19-year-old dies in horror Mount Gravatt crash
An Aussie mountain that towers over the city below is advertised to tourists as the perfect place to see koalas, including “mothers and joeys”. During the day Mount Gravatt is peaceful, but once the sun goes down the road that snakes up towards the lookout harbours a dark truth.
It’s then the animals that draw visitors to the Queensland capital are being run down at an alarming rate. Just three days apart in November, separate pairs of mother and joey koalas were hit by vehicles and left to suffer on the side of the road.
When rescuer John Knights arrived to help the first couple on November 16, the joey was clinging to its mother’s fur. “Mum was unconscious and fitting. And she was dying,” he told Yahoo News.
