Police are yet to determine what triggered an early morning crash that claimed the life of popular WA rugby figure Joseph Simpkins. Simpkins, 28, was driving a Honda that crashed into a roadside barrier on Tonkin Hwy in Redcliffe, in Perth ’s east. It happened near Perth Airport sometime between 1.30am and 1.45am on Sunday, August 11, as Simpkins headed north. Major Crash detectives issued a fresh appeal for information on Wednesday.
Simpkins was a popular rugby player and coach and his death was felt widely. Tributes were held during fixtures last weekend, including mixed juniors and seniors donning the number 10 jersey in a nod to Simpkins. “Always around The Bull Pen with a smile, his kindness, infectious laugh and amazing gift for bringing people together for a good old yarn will be sorely missed,” the Kalamunda Districts Rugby Union Club said in a tribute on Facebook.
