Drivers told to stay put after breakdowns in remote areas

Station managers in Australia have urged all truck drivers to remain with their vehicles if they break down in remote areas, after a second man died trying to find help on foot.

A 39-year-old man in remote Western Australia died during the weekend after leaving his broken-down vehicle to search for help.

The truck, loaded with water tanks destined for a property in remote Murchison, in Western Australia, bogged down on an unsealed private road.
