Yeah, a 24 year old Tourist in a renter...allegedly speeding down the beach and turned sharply causing the Prado to roll a few times.
It seems most 4wd rental companies will not rent to under 24's due to history of this sort of thing.
I have spent a fair bit of time driving Teewah Beach, where the above occurred, as well as Fraser Island and see moronic behavior all the time. Not unusual to be sitting on the limit of 80kmh driving up the beach on Fraser to be overtaken by loons in Hiluxs's or older Landcruisers and Patrols doing well over 80kmh...with the usual huge lift, fat tyres and loud exhaust...very often with a red or green P plate.
I feel very sorry for the other people in that Prado, one persons stupidity will have changed lives for ever...
