Driver sentenced T
he driver of a ute who pleaded guilty to careless driving causing death following a collision on Whitford Road on May 8 last year has been sentenced. Tradesman Carl Brown admitted the charge and three counts of careless driving causing injury at an earlier hearing. He was sentenced in the Manukau District Court last week to six weeks’ community detention, 200 hours’ community service, been banned from driving for 18 months and must pay $12,000 to his victims at $40 a week. Brown’s ute ploughed into an eight-seater rental van driving along Whitford Rd toward Howick carrying a Dutch family – couple Jeroen and Rivka Hon-
dema, their three sons aged 2 to 5 and the youngters’ grandmother Margaret de Vries. A media report said Mrs de Vries was critically hurt with significant abdominal injuries, Mrs Hondema broke an ankle and wrist and the boys each broke their collarbones while

the youngest also suffered a shattered a elbow. Mrs de Vries, who did regain consciousness, was watched by family for 104 days but did not survive after treatment was stopped. Media quoted Brown from the police summary of facts: “I braked, slid straight into the back
of that car. Slid like I was on ice. Bounced off that car and into the oncoming traffic.” A Times story at the time said the crash occurred around 12.30pm in wet conditions. The crash closed the road for several hours. Former Times employee Terry Marston said a year ago that he was travelling behind the family’s vehicle when the smash happened. “The driver of the ute said he didn’t see a white Honda indicating so he clipped the Honda, pulled the wheel to the right and swerved head on into that unfortunate family. “Three seconds up the road and it would’ve been me.”
