An Australian tourist was charged on two counts of vehicular manslaughter on Tuesday for driving on the wrong-side of the road, resulting in a crash that left two dead, according to prosecutors.
SAN MATEO COUNTY — Prosecutors have charged an Australian man with two counts of vehicular manslaughterLuke Nardini, a tourist and Formula 500 race-car driver, was headed eastbound in the westbound lane on Highway 84 around 5 p.m. Friday evening when he collided with a Ford Taurus carrying four passengers. A male backseat passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other backseat passenger, a woman, died later at a hospital.
Nardini, who was driving a BMW M4, crossed into the westbound lane at about 55-60 miles per hour because of a road closure of the eastbound lane, according to prosecutors. When the closure ended, he forgot to cross back over to the right-hand side of the road. Prosecutors noted that in Australia, like the United Kingdom and many former British colonies, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. The California Highway Patrol said over the weekend that it was possible that Nardini briefly forgot about the difference in procedure.
