Over the past year, Karin and Robert McDowall have spent countless hours at the Brisbane intersection where their 20-year-old son Max was killed.

Max had been cycling across a pedestrian crossing at a signalised intersection in Woolloongabba in May 2021 when a bus turned left and they collided. Both the bus and Max had a green light at the time.
