Tragedy struck in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales as a fatal collision between two cars and a truck left one man dead and a woman hospitalized. The incident occurred just before midnight, prompting emergency services to rush to the scene on the New England Highway at Liddell.
Upon arrival, responders were met with a chaotic scene as two cars had collided, followed by a truck crashing into both vehicles. Sadly, the male driver of a green sedan did not survive the impact and was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity has yet to be officially confirmed.
The female driver of a silver sedan, a 22-year-old, was trapped in the wreckage and had to be carefully extricated by rescue workers. She was treated on site before being airlifted to the hospital in a serious condition.
Meanwhile, the truck driver, a man believed to be in his 40s, emerged from the collision unscathed. He was, however, taken to the hospital for standard testing as per protocol. As authorities work to uncover the cause of this tragic event, an investigation is currently underway and a detailed report will be presented to the coroner.
