## Resource

A tragic Adelaide crash that killed two women, including senior police officer Detective Chief Superintendent Joanne Shanahan, was deemed unavoidable by the coroner — the driver, 21-year-old Harrison Kitt, was in a psychotic episode when he smashed into two cars at high speed. Just an hour before, Kitt was clocked at 187 km/h by a speed camera, but outdated tech couldn’t alert authorities in time. Though found not guilty of dangerous driving due to mental incompetence, Kitt now lives under supervision. The coroner stressed police couldn’t have intervened safely, yet urged South Australia to adopt a new system that automatically alerts police to extreme speeding — a potential lifeline for future tragedies. The loss left a community in profound grief, underscoring the unpredictable horror of that day.
