The āout of controlā driver who smashed his Audi into anĀ UberĀ car, causing a triple fatality inĀ Sydneyās southern suburbs on Saturday, has been revealed as a personal trainer and gym manager.
Tamati Gilbert, 43, flipped his Audi on Rocky Point Road in Sans Souci after fleeing a personal welfare check at his home and driving at a āconsiderable speedā, launching over a concrete barrier and crashing into a blue Toyota Camry.
Uber driver Shoaib Hussain, 22, was behind the wheel of the Camry and was doing his final job of the night, taking 28-year-old Seamus Duignan home after a concert for his birthday.
Mr Duignan, Mr Hussain and Gilbert all died at the scene.
Gilbert, a fitness industry veteran, had left his home abruptly after his partner called police, raising āgrave concernsā about his mental health.
Police attended the home in Gymea Bay at about 12.25am to conduct a welfare check and found Gilbert sitting in his Audi in the driveway.
He sped off before officers could speak to him and, ten minutes later, police received reports that an Audi had flipped over a concrete barrier 13km away in Sans Souci and landed on a blue Toyota Camry.
CCTV showed the Audi travelling at high speed moments before the crash. Separate footage captured the fiery moment of impact.
