Episode Details

A 72-year-old bus driver, Lindsay Francis Selby, is appealing his conviction for causing the death of 18-year-old Tia Cameron in a 2024 Brisbane crash. Though given a suspended sentence and driving ban, his legal team argues the conviction should be overturned, focusing on his reaction time and awareness. Video shows Selby swerving as if braking—but no brakes were applied. Prosecutors say he ignored traffic and had time to act. Tia’s father emotionally questioned why the bus didn’t honk, later apologizing, underscoring the family’s devastation. Judge Bernard Porter, calling it a tragedy, is conducting a rare full rehearing to determine if Selby was attentive and had a reasonable chance to avoid the collision. CCTV shows Selby calm until the last moment, and prosecutors insist he should’ve braked earlier. The judge has reserved his decision, needing time to weigh all evidence.
