With emergency services still at the scene of the sixth fatal crash in two days, police are pleading with drivers to take care on NSW roads.
About 1.15pm today (Thursday 25 April 2019), emergency services were called to Vittoria Road, near Koomoorang Road, Vittoria, about 25km south west of Orange, following reports of a single-vehicle crash.
A passing motorist found the car crashed and the male driver – and sole occupant – had died at the scene.
Five of the six deaths have followed single-vehicle crashes.
Operation Go Slow, the state’s ANZAC weekend road safety operation, started at 12.01am yesterday (Wednesday 24 April 2019) and will run until 11.59pm on Sunday 28 April 2019.
Officers across NSW will be targeting all speeding, mobile phone, seatbelt and motorcycle/helmet offences, which will attract double demerit points.
Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy said he’s very disturbed by the fact that six people have lost their lives in a matter of hours.
“While investigations into the circumstances of each of these incidents is continuing, I implore people to pay attention when they are behind the wheel and drive with diligence. Ensure you are well-rested and drive to the conditions of the road”.
