Three hospitalised after four-vehicle truck and car crash on South Coast
Three people were taken to hospital after a truck and three cars collided, while diversions and a crime scene caused major delays.
On Monday, July 13, a four-vehicle crash on the Princes Highway near Quinlans Road in Cobargo killed one driver and injured three others at approximately 6:15 am.
Paramedics treated three injured people—a woman in her 70s, a man in his 80s, and a man in his 60s—before transporting them to South East Regional Hospital in Bega.
South Coast Police District officers established a crime scene and implemented local diversions, directing light vehicles to Cobargo Bermagui Road and heavy vehicles to the Kings Highway.
Bega Police and Crime Stoppers are urging anyone with dashcam footage to contact 1800 333 000, while officers investigate and prepare a report for the Coroner.
Simultaneously, rail commuters on the South Coast Line face delays between Bomaderry and Kiama due to urgent signal repairs, with travel times increasing by up to 30 minutes, the transport authority said.
