AN 82-year-old man is dead and his 72-year-old partner is fighting for her life after the van they were travelling in collided with an unregistered vehicle being driven by a disqualified teenaged driver on Saturday.
According to a police media spokeswoman, the unregistered Subaru carrying five occupants had been heading along Mountain View Avenue, through what neighbours said was a notorious roundabout frequented by hoons.
While residents comforted the distressed woman, the five teenage occupants of the Subaru stood motionless on the footpath.
Both Mr Atzori and Mr Waymouth said not one of the youths attempted to help.
Mr Waymouth was ‘disgusted’ by their behaviour.
“They just stood there and then they sat down and then someone dropped Maccas off to them,” he said.
WTF is a “hoon”?

What’s a Macca?
Not sure actually. I assumed it meant McDonald’s.
A hoon is a person who drives recklessly for fun, and Maccas does mean McDonalds. Well, they do in New Zealand, and possibly Australia too.

Yah this happened pretty close near my home on the Gold Coast in Australia, Maccas is indeed what Aussies (I’m an American over here for College) call McDonalds, they shorten everything, Breaky is Breakfast, and Chrissie is Christmas.
