The driver of the semi-trailer truck that crashed into four police officers on Melbourne’s Eastern Freeway on April 22 appeared in court on April 27 to face four charges of culpable driving.

The truck’s driver, Mohinder Singh Bajwa, appeared a “saddened and anxious” figure as he attended the first hearing facing four charges for grievous bodily harm by driving. Singh’s refrigerator truck swayed across multiple lanes before colliding and killing four police officers in the emergency lane.
