A Victorian driver who survived being hit by a road sign on a Melbourne freeway is considering filing a lawsuit against VicRoads and TransUrban after suffering physical injuries and mental trauma.
Nella Lettieri was travelling along the road earlier this month when a five by four metre sign fell and crushed her car, leaving her with neck and hand injuries, and continuing headaches as a result of a steel plate on the sign being installed incorrectly.
The alarming oversight in the installation of the signs is the responsibility of TransUrban, who’s Program Director, David Clements, ensured were not a further risk to the public following an investigation of the remaining road signs on the freeway.
