Former judge and coroner Wayne Chivell crashed into man who then lost lower legs, court hears
August 3, 2022
A retired South Australian District Court judge and state coroner will be sentenced later this month for causing a crash that resulted in a delivery driver losing both of his legs below the knees.
Wayne Cromwell Chivell, 71, pleaded guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court to one aggravated count of careless driving.
A prosecutor told Magistrate John Wells that Chivell stopped at a red light on Anzac Highway at Plympton in December 2021, to inform the driver of an OzHarvest delivery truck that his back door was swinging open.
