The heartbroken husband of his mother killed in a terrible Wheatbelt accident has spoken publicly for the first time, confirming the tragic news of his children’s injuries.
Six of Leighton Fraser’s children have been hospitalized after being injured in the head-on collision five days ago and four are expected to be out soon.
However, the road to recovery will be much longer for two of his children – Bethel, five, and Mariah, 11 – who both have severe spinal injuries.

Though Bethel should eventually make a full recovery, Mariah may never walk again.
“Obviously we’re looking at the loss of the lower legs and the loss of bowel use, the kind of thing that’s so paraplegic,” Fraser told 7NEWS.
The bereaved husband said his wife is now in the “best place” and promised to raise her young children as Hannah would have liked.
“She is in the best place she can be. She is at home with God and that is why we are so grateful, ”Fraser said.
“(I’ll raise the kids) just to really be a reflection of her. Bringing the same grace she brought is probably the main goal.
Mr. Fraser also took the opportunity to send a special message to the driver of the truck his family’s car collided with.
“At the truck driver, man, my heart breaks for you.”

Ms. Fraser was accompanying her children – aged 14 months to 12 years – to their weekly home education group when the tragedy occurred along Goomalling-Toodyay Road in Wongamine. Ms. Fraser sustained catastrophic injuries and died on the spot.
The WA Insurance Commission is helping fund the treatment and care of the six injured children. A GoFundMe that has raised over $ 60,000 will also help the family with funeral costs.
