  "account": "South Australia has surpassed its projected total of road deaths for 2025, with two months still remaining in the year. A road safety advocate, Kat Brown, lost her two-year-old daughter Indie in a single-vehicle accident while driving. Ms Brown, a former SA Police Commissioner, emphasizes that road safety is everyone's responsibility. She lost control of her ute on an undulating gravel road, which had recently been graded, and the vehicle flipped, killing Indie instantly. Despite her own adherence to the signposted speed limit, Brown believes environmental factors, such as unfamiliar vehicles and unfamiliar road conditions, played a role in the tragedy. She urges drivers to remain vigilant, even if they are not engaging in the \"fatal five\" behaviors, as conditions can quickly change and pose unexpected risks.",
  "summary": "Road safety advocate Kat Brown — who lost her toddler in a crash while she was behind the wheel — is pleading with motorists to take care as the number of deaths on South Australian roads has already surpassed last year's total.",
