Roadkill

On the 16th of November, 2019, Tim Whitrow, had flown to set in his small airplane to assist with catering for the day and when he left, was only air-bound for a few seconds before the plane crashed at 160 km per hour approximately 100 meters from the set. Members of the crew including his brother (James Whitrow), nephew (Alexander Whitrow) and mother (Sue Whitrow) ran to the wreck, already believing he was dead. He was found in the wreckage barely clinging to life. The crew removed him from the aircraft and kept him breathing until the ambulances arrived. Tim was taken to the Riverland General Hospital where he was then flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH). Tim broke twelve ribs and his sternum, had his hear bruised and lost one of his feet as a result of his injuries. He was in the intensive care unit at the RAH for several days but otherwise made a full recovery.
