Calvin Wijeweera’s parents are still awaiting justice over the Carlingford NSW crash

The family of a 17-year-old student who was run over on the sidewalk while walking home from school are demanding answers after learning the 90-year-old driver still has her driver’s license.

Calvin Wijeweera was struck and killed on December 1 by a gray sedan that crashed into the curb in Carlingford, north-west Sydney, leaving his parents Sandun and Anoma and sister Ovindi heartbroken.

The parents of the 11th grader are now wondering why, more than two months later, not only have no charges been brought by police in their son’s death, but the elderly driver is still allowed to drive.

“We’re desperate… Why is it taking so long to make a decision? It’s really frustrating,” Mr Wijiweera told The Daily Telegraph.

His comments follow tragedy earlier this week in which a 14-year-old boy was killed when a bus hit a curb outside MacArthur Anglican School in south-west Sydney while the student waited to go home.

Charges were brought against the driver of the bus within hours.

“My whole family is in a very desperate, dire situation. We have lost a family member and are not getting justice for him,” Mr Wijeweera said.

Detectives from the Accident Investigation Unit were handling the case, which is now in the hands of Ryde Borough.

NSW Police have confirmed that legal action is pending and that the driver’s license has not been suspended.

His family established the Calvin Wijeweera Foundation in honor of the aspiring aeronautical engineer, which aims to help needy Sri Lankan students with their education.

Ovindi Wijeweera, Calvin’s older sister, who was in Singapore when the accident happened and flew back when she found out about it, previously said she felt like she was living a nightmare.

“This house, the four of us here, and every time I turn a corner I see him, I just can’t believe he’s gone and he’s not coming back,” she told Seven News.

She also asked why there were no restrictions preventing the woman from getting behind the wheel.

“It’s not hate feelings, but how can you allow a 90-year-old woman to drive?” She said.

In New South Wales, drivers over the age of 75 must have a medical check every year to keep their driving licence.

From the age of 85, they must pass a driving test “on the road” every two years.

The woman had sustained a leg injury in the accident and was subsequently taken to Westmead Hospital for mandatory tests.

Calvin had been out walking with two pals, also 17, one of whom was being treated at Westmead Hospital after suffering a head injury in the accident, and a third boy managed to jump out of the way and was unharmed.

The young student, whose family emigrated to Australia from Colombo, Sri Lanka in 2008, was remembered as a gentle and kind person.

“I went to elementary school with Calvin and he was the kindest person he had a heart of gold…life is so unfair sometimes rest in peace Calvin,” wrote one young woman on Instagram.

A youth group the boy belonged to posted a tribute on Facebook, saying he was “kind and gentle” and could always be counted on.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved…friend and brother, Calvin Wijeweera,” the Tharuna youth group announced Saturday.
