Australian reality television personality Matt Wright and his wife Kaia are facing a negligence lawsuit following an airboat crash that injured eight passengers during a guided tour on crocodile-infested waters in the Northern Territory. The incident occurred on May 10, 2023, involving a group of 26 tourists who were split between two airboats operated by the couple’s adventure tourism company, Top End Safari Camp.

Among the injured is Amelia-Kate Potts and her husband, Gregory Potts, who have initiated legal action against Top End Safari Camp in the Northern Territory Supreme Court. The Potts allege that the crash has resulted in enduring physical injuries, psychological trauma, and significant disruption to their economic livelihoods. They contend that the tour, promoted as a “once in a lifetime adventure,” exposed them to hazardous conditions that were not adequately managed or supervised by the operators.

The lawsuit claims both physical and psychiatric damages, highlighting the long-term impact of the incident on the couple’s wellbeing. The details of the crash, including the precise cause and circumstances leading to the accident, have not been fully disclosed in public statements. The case marks a significant development for Wright, who is known for his television work and for managing the tourism venture that offers wildlife tours along waterways known for high crocodile populations.

The legal proceedings continue as the parties seek to resolve claims related to negligence and liability tied to the airboat incident.
