NSW Driver Jailed 16 Years for Road‑Rage Killing of Rhyce Harding

The judge found he used his vehicle as a weapon based on CCTV evidence.

Overview

  • Bradley Wilkinson, 40, was sentenced to an aggregate 16 years in prison with a 12‑year non‑parole period in the NSW District Court.
  • He pleaded guilty earlier this year to manslaughter and to failing to stop and assist after a vehicle impact causing death.
  • CCTV shown to the court depicted Wilkinson cutting off Harding, refusing to allow him to merge, then holding him against the moving ute before Harding fell and later died.
  • He handed himself in at Mount Druitt Police Station the day after the June 2024 incident on Jersey Rd in Blackett.
  • The orders set parole eligibility for June 20, 2036, the sentence expiry for June 20, 2040, and a 12‑month licence disqualification upon release.
