Trucking company fined $1.3m following crash that claimed three lives

Sydney-based Lennons Transport company has been handed the largest fine in Australian transport law history after being found guilty of almost 200 speeding offences.

The trucking company was slapped with a $1.3 million fine in Sydney’s Downing Centre today following the Menangle truck crash that killed three members of the same family in 2012.

The company was repeatedly busted for speeding, recording a total of 172 offences over a 13 month period which saw some drivers going as fast as 124km/h on busy NSW highways.

Two trucks were also found to have speed limiters that had been tampered with.

Calvyn Logan and his 81-year-old parents Donald and Patricia were killed when a drug-affected, sleep-deprived truck driver slammed his B-double into their sedan in January 2012.

Vincent George, the drug affected Lennons driver who killed the trio was among the drivers caught speeding.

Gary Logan said the penalty handed to Lennons won't bring his parents and brother back but said he hopes it serves as a warning to others and will help end the carnage on our roads.

But Road and Maritime’s Paul Endycott has savaged Lennons.

"This company needed to be put before the court and a clear message delivered in relation to the serious risk that this company was posing," he said.
