Italian tourist Gabriele Cairo handed suspended sentence for triple-fatal crash in South Australia's Mid North

ABC  

A killer driver has been handed a suspended sentence after causing a crash that left three people dead — an incident the judge described as a "true tragedy for everyone involved". Italian tourist Gabriele Cairo, 29, previously pleaded guilty to causing the deaths of Cynthia and John Clark and their 54-year-old daughter, Jacqueline Clark, in the crash which occurred in South Australia's Mid North last year. Judge Muscat said Cairo, who was on a honeymoon with his wife at the time of the collision, was a man of "exceptional character" who held "strong values" of generosity and kindness. Judge Muscat said Cairo was "remorseful" and the family of the victims had forgiven the driver. Cairo's defence lawyer, Michael Woods, said the Clark family showed "great empathy" during what he said was a "very difficult" case for the Italian couple.
