Private Responder Admits Causing Serious Crash
9 Nov
Summary
- Responder used unauthorized lights and sirens at over 100km/h.
- Crash on wrong side of the road injured five, including a child.
- Driver admitted to faking paramedic qualifications at scene.
Jack Dunn, managing director of private first responder company Rescue Recovery 1, has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a head-on crash in Wanneroo. The incident occurred last month when Dunn, traveling over 100km/h with unauthorized lights and sirens activated, drove on the wrong side of the road.
His actions resulted in a collision with a Mercedes, causing injuries to five people, including a child. The driver of the Mercedes sustained broken ribs and lung injuries. Dunn, who lacks paramedic qualifications, also allegedly concealed his dashcam's memory card from police.
Dunn appeared via video link from Hakea Prison and is scheduled for sentencing on January 29. His company has since removed references to him from its online platforms.
