Corey Comport: Koori Court hears events leading up to a fatal crash that killed Nirvair Singh

The distraught family of a much-loved father of two have spoken of their grief as the killer driver faced them in court.

Father of two Nirvair Singh was killed in horror crash in Diggers Rest.

The devastated wife of a loving father and popular singer killed in a three-car collision caused by an ice addict who had never had a licence told a court it feels like a piece of her heart is missing.

Corey Comport, 24, pleaded guilty on Monday to one charge of culpable driving causing death and failing to stop during a driving spree near Bulla.

The crash killed father-of-two Nirvair Singh, 44, near Bulla, in Melbourne’s northwest, on August 30 last year.

Comport, then 23, who has never held a driver’s licence, used drugs including methamphetamine and ketamine and had been speeding at 168km/h when he smashed his rented Kia Cerato into the back of a Jeep Wrangler on Bulla-Diggers Rest Rd.

Mr Singh died at the scene after the 4WD was pushed into the path of his Toyota Kluger travelling in the opposite direction.

His wife read an emotionally charged victim impact statement in the Koori Court, saying it felt like a piece of her heart was missing.

Nirvair Singh was killed in a three-car collision near Bulla.

“I feel a lot of anger and worthlessness having to live without him. Every time I drive, I get flashbacks of the accident: how did it happen, how was he feeling, did he ask for help.”

After his death, she said she didn’t feel like going to parties and to friends’ place and was unsure what to do with his social media accounts.

“I am doing the best to find strength to carry on, the road is daunting but I am determined to honour his memory and to provide the best for my children,” she said.

Mr Singh’s son, now aged 8, recalled in his victim impact statement that he saw people outside his home crying before his mum told him about the crash.

“I was shocked, there were so many questions in my head. I started crying and missing my dad. I can do everything but I miss my dad. I don’t think anyone loves my dad like I do.”

Police summary of facts stated two cops who gave chase on Sunbury Rd abandoned the pursuit after realising Comport would not stop.

The Kia was travelling in excess of 160km/h in the five seconds prior to colliding

with the Jeep, slowly increasing the speed before colliding with the rear of the Jeep

at 168km/h.

A witness who was travelling behind Mr Singh, saw the Kia ‘flying’ over the top of the Jeep. She described Comport as agitated, he couldn’t stand still, and kept saying ‘I’ve got to go, I’ve got to get out of here’.

Paramedics said he was extremely erratic and emotional and initially denied being the driver of the Kia.

Comport told police he was a regular user of ice and had smoked some the morning of the collision.

During a round-the-table discussion involving him, his mum, Justice Johns and three Aboriginal elders following his guilty pleas, Comport kept reiterating that he felt “terrible” about his actions which shouldn’t have happened.

“I wish I was never on the road, I shouldn’t have been on drugs,” he said before offering his condolences to the family. His mum said Comport struggled everyday with what he had done. Comport was further remanded in custody until December 15.
