A second person has died following the two-vehicle crash in Mullumbimby on Father’s Day.
About 11.45am on Sunday, emergency services were called to Mullumbimby Road, about 2km north of Mullumbimby following reports of a crash.
A vehicle travelling west had collided with a vehicle travelling east in the east-bound lane.
Emergency services attempted to revive a 79-year-old woman from the east-bound travelling vehicle, however she died at the scene.
An 80-year-old man from the same vehicle was flown to Gold Coast University Hospital in a serious condition. The 80-year-old man died in hospital yesterday (Thursday 5 September 2019).
A 28-year-old man from the west-bound travelling vehicle was flown to Gold Coast University Hospital in a serious condition.
A brief will be prepared for the information of the Coroner and the circumstances surrounding the crash are currently being investigated by the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command.
Very sad ending for the two oldies.
Not a great ending.
I came up from Sydney last week and im.more.nervous here driving then i am down there. Seriously people need to slow down man.
So many unneccessary deaths.
Very sad and concerning.
That’s exactly what I use to think when I moved from Sydney to Byron Bay. It’s crazy how fast they drive in country areas. This is a very sad ending, especially for the elderly.
All that faulty airbag stuff is that over now
