A magistrate is set to rule later this month on whether to continue prosecution in a fatal road accident involving Police Constable Robert Dyer.
Magistrate Dexter Wason will deliver his decision on 27 May following a defence motion to dismiss the case against Dayneri Ferrer Vincent-Urlwin, who is charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
The charge relates to a collision on 4 September 2023, in which Constable Dyer died after his motorcycle struck a Jeep Wrangler on Sir Sydney Walling Highway. The crash occurred around 11:20am as the Jeep, reportedly driven by Vincent-Urlwin, turned right into Luna Park.
Dyer had just overtaken several vehicles before the impact. He was pronounced dead at 12:45pm.
Vincent-Urlwin was initially granted bail after her arrest. Her bail conditions were later revised to include an $8,000 cash bond as part of a $50,000 surety, the surrender of travel documents, regular police reporting, and a suspension of her driving licence.
She remains on bail pending the magistrate’s decision. If the motion is denied, the case will proceed to trial in the High Court.
