This is from Andrew Rule who is a police reporter with significant contacts in the force.

Police told other police, who told former police and family and friends, that an apparently identical truck had been pulled over on the same freeway a little earlier that evening, further east.

Allegedly, the driver of that truck had angrily abused police when issued with two on-the-spot infringement notices for driving offences.

Allegedly, that truck driver was known to police because of an association with groups that come under police notice from time to time.

So while the initial focus was on the driver of the black Porsche pulled over for allegedly driving at excessive speeds, the main thrust of the investigation from the start was on the truck driver.

It was significant that the truck driver, Singh Bajwa, was placed under police guard in hospital.
