The family of a woman who was killed when her partner of 10 years veered off a roadway in the South Burnett region continue to deal with the trauma of witnessing the fiery crash.
Loganlea man Aaron John Mannell appeared before Maroochydore District Court on Friday to be sentenced for dangerous driving causing death following the death of his partner, 26-year-old Sabrina Monique Strasberger.
The couple were travelling along Chinchilla Wondai Road, Durong, on August 10, 2019, in a convoy of four cars going camping with family.
The 27-year-old learner driver was travelling at 100km/h behind three other vehicles when his car veered to the right, colliding with a raised driveway causing the car to flip several times before facing upright in the direction of travel.
