A man who tragically died in a horror road accident wrote an eerie Facebook post just weeks before he was killed after being cleared of a serious crime.
Wade Sangwell, 32, from Queensland‘s Fraser Coast, died from critical injuries sustained in an accident on the Scenic Highway in Rosslyn on Friday when a truck and car collided.
Another man involved in the crash, 42, is currently in a serious condition at Rockhampton Hospital.
In May, Mr Sangwell made an emotional post on social media saying he felt like he could ‘live his life again’ after a jury found him not guilty of grievous bodily harm for an incident in 2020.
‘What a great feeling to be a free man… I’m so relieved now that the truth has come out,’ he wrote after the verdict.
‘I now can move forward and live my life again.’
