A GoFundMe page has been established to help the family of a young truckie killed when his vehicle was hit by a train at North Shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
30-year-old Johnny Stubbs, of Frankston, died when his low loader was struck by a V\/Line passenger train after becoming stuck on a level crossing on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s now been revealed Mr Stubbs\u2019 partner Georgie gave birth to the couple\u2019s third child just weeks before his tragic death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fundraising page was set up by Mr Stubbs\u2019 friend Darryl Edwards, who described him as being \u201cas Aussie as an Aussie can get\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c(He) always had a big grin and a chat and time to talk and listen giving everyone the time of day,\u201d Mr Edwards wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFamily and Trucking was his thing .. he was born to drive trucks and had a massive love for doing what he done, no matter how hard the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut Johnnys family was his true love that he idolised and adored.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Edwards said Mr Stubbs would have been \u201cjust itching to get home and be with his family and brand new baby\u201d, but sadly did not make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJohnny leaves behind three gorgeous children, his little man just weeks old .. and his beautiful partner who now has to piece together a shattered life and dreams that they both once had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTragic is an understatement, life simply can be so cruel and unfair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collision is being investigated by V\/Line, Victoria Police and WorkSafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
