It’s MardiGrass!

This year is Nimbins 32nd annual MardiGrass and you’d reckon by now ‘weed’ be left alone. The same helicopter raids, the disgusting, and completely unfair, saliva testing of drivers, and we’re still not allowed to grow our own plants. We can all access legal buds via a doctor, most of it imported from Canada, but we can’t grow our own. There’s something very wrong there.

A man has died in hospital following a single-vehicle crash near Casino earlier this month.

About 7.30pm on Saturday, 5 August, 2023, emergency services were called to Avenue Road, Ellangowan, about 20km south of Casino, after reports of a single-vehicle crash.

A Ford utility was reportedly travelling south-west when it lost control and collided with a power pole.

The driver and sole occupant – a 43-year-old man – was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics and airlifted to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition.

Officers from Richmond Police District attended the scene and commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Police have since been notified that the man died in hospital on Saturday (26 August, 2023).

A report will be prepared for the Coroner.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
