Max McDowall, 20, died after he was hit by the council bus in Woolloongabba in May 2021, near Buranda train station.
A Brisbane City Council bus driver has apologised in court over the death of a young cyclist, who died at a busy intersection, when both he and the bus were given a green light.
McDowall, whose family said he rode his bike because he had dreams to protect the environment, died after he was hit on the corner of Gillingham and O’Keefe streets. He told the court he was waiting at the red light, and about to turn left onto the busway. Rudnicki said once it turned green, he looked in the mirror, and because it was “all clear”, he started to move onto the busway.
