BURNOUTS AND TRIBUTE FOR AARON YOUNG

Boronia Heights man Aaron Young died when a white Isuzu hire truck hit him while he was loading a car on to a trailer parked on Sunrise St, Beenleigh on Saturday, May 16.

Mr Young, who had marked his 30th birthday six days before, died instantly at the scene.

His grieving parents said police had not been in contact and had not revealed the details of what happened or how their son died.

Police on Tuesday said no charges had been laid but a Forensic Crash Unit investigation was ongoing.

Devastated mother Elizabeth Young said she was still waiting for a coroner’s report to tell her and her family the series of events that led to a hire truck hitting her son.

Parents Elizabeth and Craig Young say nobody has been charged and investigations are continuing but they have had no official details of how their son died on a Beenleigh street.

“It’s been three months and we have not been contacted by anyone to tell us what actually happened,” Mrs Young said.

“Until then, we don’t know what we can tell our family and friends about how Aaron died.

“It’s all a mystery and still there’s no court case or inquiry into what happened and police said nobody has been charged.”

Witnesses on the day at Beenleigh’s Sunrise St said Mr Young was caught between his four-wheel drive and its trailer and the impact caused him severe facial damage.

Neighbours watched in horror as police held up tarpaulins while Mr Young’s badly-injured body was placed in a body bag.

Police originally told family members at the scene they could visit the coroner’s office the next day.

However, due to coronavirus restrictions, the family was not allowed in to the John Tonge Centre and Mr Young’s father, Craig, was forced to identify his body at the scene.

The grieving parents put out a public plea hoping to get information from the driver of a white Corolla who might be able to help them piece together their son’s last moments.

Police put out a call in May for the driver who was behind the truck.

The family was overwhelmed after strangers helped them to raise $3000 in a matter of hours to cover funeral costs of $8500.

Mrs Young’s sister, Cheryl Williams, the wife of former state ALP politician Rick Williams, said the family had experienced hardship after being forced to move out of rental properties six times in the past year.

Mrs Williams said Aaron, who was autistic, had worked hard to overcome his disability.

“He was helped by his mum and dad and had grown into an extraordinary young man,” she said.

“Aaron was an avid car enthusiast and was involved in all things cars.

“It was his life passion.

“This year hasn’t been kind to Elizabeth and Craig, and they have fallen on hard times and now the tragic and unexpected loss of their son.”
