A coroner has called on the Government to better address the high number of quad bike deaths and serious injuries, following the death of a Milton man in 2014.
Neville Ian Anderson died in September 2014 after being crushed by a quad bike which rolled while he was working near Milton.
In her findings into the death, coroner Brigitte Windley issued a number of recommendations to improve quad bike safety and address a persistent concern.
Windley acknowledged Roll Over Protection devices are a controversial issue in quad bike safety, but says Australian research provides the first in-field evidence about their protective benefit.
