Moruga sawmill owner and logger Terry Chance will be given his final rites on Thursday when he should have celebrated his 53rd birthday.

Chance was killed after his six-wheel Mac truck and 40-foot-trailer plunged into a 60-foot precipice in Toco on Sunday.

Chance was driving his truck with the trailer loaded with logs on Tompire Road near Toco Main Road when the road caved, and the vehicle flipped several times before it crash-landed on its wheels.
