Chilling CCTV footage of father and son's fatal trip for ice cream before they were allegedly mowed down by drink driver

A father and son's final moments before they were killed by an alleged drink driver in Brisbane's south have been revealed in chilling CCTV footage. Braiden Ashely Timmins, 33, and his four-year-old son Hendrix-Hemi Te Rongomau King were walking on Green Road in Regents Park when a ute crashed into them about 11.15am on Sunday. The 33-year-old father and his son, both from Crestmead, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Trevor William Galbraith, 41, has been charged with two counts of manslaughter. Police will allege he was drink driving when he struck them with a white LDC dual cab utility. The pair were walking from their home a few streets away to get an ice cream when the fatal incident took place. CCTV footage obtained by The Courier Mail shows the father and son minutes before they tragically died. A property overlooking the pair's path a few streets over from where the crash took place shows the four-year-old boy riding his bike along the verge at 10.57am. He can seen wearing a pink and blue bike helmet, dressed in a black t-shirt and shorts. The young boy points ahead before riding in front of his dad on a small, pink bike. Mr Timmins follows his son, walking behind while dressing in black trousers and a white t-shirt. The video shows the boy waiting for his dad to catch up before the pair continue towards Green Road and exit the frame. Police will allege Galbraith returned a positive reading on a roadside breath test after he struck the father and son. 'He was then conveyed to hospital where a requirement was made for a specimen of blood to be taken,' a police spokesman said. Galbraith was remanded in custody at Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday and his case was adjourned until October 20. The Forensic Crash Unit returned to the crash site on Tuesday, with investigations continuing. Mourners had laid flowers, stuffed toys, and ice-creams as tributes to the father and son.
