FOLLOWING Saturday’s fatal car accident at Bochara that claimed four lives, Lee-Ann Elmes, mother of one of the deceased, Joshua Elmes, spoke about dealing with the grief and how she wanted to bring the situation from “tragedy to legacy”.

“I’ve lost a child, yes, and it’s devastating, and it is a parent's worst nightmare, 100 per cent - and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this again,” she said.
