Tammara, a recovering drug user who had turned her life around, threatened to hitchhike back home to New South Wales upon leaving her relatives. Her concerned sister Chenai began scouring the area when she discovered a man lying on the ground next to his car on the hard shoulder of a motorway. But as she stopped to help the lifeless man at around 9.30pm, Chenai had no idea he had fatally struck Tammara moments earlier and dragged her body 60m down the main road. In a cruel twist of fate, Kaine Andrew Carter had horrifically smashed into the 32-year-old while driving under the influence of drugs and fled the scene. The impact was so severe it tore Tammara’s body in half, Southport Magistrates Court heard.

Cops had been alerted to his car ‘parked’ in a dangerous spot near an exit on the motorway – but a concerned Chenai had failed to notice the blood and “body matter” covering the vehicle. She was woken up the following morning by her mother who explained the devastating news that her sister had been killed in an accident. The heartbroken pair started driving to find answers, before Chenai suddenly realised what had happened after seeing Carter’s car again as they entered the motorway. A grief-stricken Chenai told the court: “It had clicked. Kaine killed Tammara (and) I had been there not long after it happened,” The Courier Mail reported. Forensic investigators later determined that the tragic Tammara had become wedged between the bullbar of the ute and the roadside guardrail and been cut in half. It had clicked. Kaine killed Tammara (and) I had been there not long after it happened. Chenai Radnedge Part of her body was found around six metres from her top half, which had been thrown 10m from the roadside. “I reckon if I had seen the body matter on the car, I would’ve thrown myself into the traffic at that moment, to be honest,” Chenai continued. Carter last month pleaded guilty to dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death while adversely affected by an intoxicating substance and to leaving the scene without obtaining help. He will be sentenced in court on December 6. But Chenai doesn’t take any comfort in the fact that the hit and run driver who killed her sister will be sent to prison. “It’s nothing,” she said. “Time behind bars gives him a roof over his head, three meals a day – wow, isn’t he lucky.” FacebookKaine Andrew Carter was driving under the influence of drugs when he smashed into Tammara and tore her body in half[/caption] Charlie WoodChenai was unable to see Tammara’s body before she was laid to rest as her injuries were so severe[/caption]
