Legend Pizza

If you go back in time 32 years, Byron was very different, but Legend Pizza was already a massive favourite of locals. You’d have to be a bit of a legend to have a successful business that’s been right in the middle of Jonson St for 30 of those years; that’s been locally owned and operated the whole time.

A man will face court following a serious crash involving a semitrailer at Brunswick Heads last night.

About 9.20pm yesterday (Tuesday, 29 August, 2023), emergency services responded to reports that a semitrailer had rolled along the M1 motorway at Brunswick Heads.

Police from Tweed/Byron Police District attended and were told that the truck was allegedly seen swerving between lanes before the trailer jack-knifed, rolling onto its side whilst being towed a short distance further.

The 36-year-old male driver underwent a preliminary roadside breath test which allegedly returned a positive reading.

He was arrested and taken to Byron Bay Police Station where a breath analysis allegedly returned a positive reading of 0.241.

The Sydney man was issued a Court Attendance Notice for drive with high range PCA.

He will appear before Mullumbimby Local Court on Wednesday 11 October 2023.

Police have also suspended the man’s driver licence.
