The mother of Oatlands crash victim Veronique Sakr claims she has been left feeling 'sick' following Ezra Mam's 'slap on the wrist' punishment, adding that the NRL star's sentence has 're-traumatised' her. Mam, 21, was handed an $850 fine and a six-month driving ban after he pleaded guilty to one count of driving while a relevant drug is present in blood and driving without a license.

The Brisbane Broncos player also avoided a criminal conviction for the incident that took place on October 18 in Bardon, Brisbane. He was understood to have allegedly failed a roadside drug test after his Ford Ranger crashed in a head-on collision with an Uber taxi.

The NRL's Integrity Unit is conducting an investigation into the matter, and have been called by some, including Bridget Sakr, to come down heavy on the half back. 'I thought it was disgraceful and it has re-traumatised me,' Sakr said to The Daily Telegraph, reflecting on Mam's punishment.
