A jury was today considering its verdict on an Australian driver accused of causing the deaths of four men from Sussex.
Martyn Hebblethwaite, 22, from Slinfold, his brother Benjamin, 26, from Horsham, Peter Standing, 21, from Hove, and Tim Skipp, 23, from Horsham, were killed when the vehicle they were travelling in was hit from behind by a lorry driven by Scott Anthony Pitkin, 27.
The four were travelling north along the Bruce Highway, near Feluga, north of Tully, Queensland, Australia, just after midnight on May 25, 1999.
