The collision, which occurred on the same road where 5-year-old Savannah Kemp and an unborn baby died in October 2023, resulted in Nationals MP Kim O’Keeffe calling for “a very big review” on Goulburn Valley roads.

Mr Jandhyala, who is on bail, is due to appear at the Shepparton Magistrates’ Court on May 6 for a filing hearing.
