Parents honor 4-year-old son's memory after fatal crash

Prakash Pokhrel and Chura Adhikari, a Bhutanese couple from Canberra, are keeping the memory of their four-year-old son Osal alive nearly a year after his tragic death in a fatal crash at Mawson.The incident occurred on January 18, 2026, when a blue Hyundai i30 struck Osal while he was on a shopping trip with his parents.The driver, Maureen Brew, 80, pleaded guilty to culpable driving causing death and faces sentencing later in 2026.

The couple, who describe Osal as a gentle and wise child, continue to honor his memory by purchasing his favorite snacks and toys, even though they don't need them.They also expressed gratitude for the support from the Australian government, victim support teams, and the police.

CCTV footage revealed Brew panicked, pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, and failed to control the vehicle, which rolled onto the footpath and struck the shopping trolley.The mechanical inspection found no faults with the car, and the dashboard warning light was unrelated to the crash.The family's grief and the legal proceedings highlight the tragic incident's impact on their lives and the community.
