A man who tragically died in a horror road accident wrote an eerie Facebook post just weeks before he was killed after being cleared of a serious crime.

Wade Sangwell, 32, from Queensland’s Fraser Coast, died from critical injuries sustained in an accident on the Scenic Highway in Rosslyn on Friday when a truck and car collided.

Another man involved in the crash, 42, is currently in a serious condition at Rockhampton Hospital.

In May, Mr Sangwell made an emotional post on social media saying he felt like he could ‘live his life again’ after a jury found him not guilty of grievous bodily harm for an incident in 2020.

‘What a great feeling to be a free man… I’m so relieved now that the truth has come out,’ he wrote after the verdict.

‘I now can move forward and live my life again.’

The 32-year-old was charged over an incident in Petrie Park in Tiaro on July 8, 2020 when a man suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Mr Sangwell said during his trial that he was acting in self defence. Maryborough District Court found him not guilty.

His father said the family had enduring ‘two years of hell’ outside the courthouse, saying: ‘It should never have got this far.’

On Friday, Mr Sangwell died as a result of the smash that saw three other people injured.
