Police attended and found the Mitsubishi sedan had veered down a small embankment, through a paddock fence and crashed 30 metres from the highway.
The 77-year-old female driver was taken to Inverell Hospital in a stable condition before she was conveyed to Armidale Hospital with suspected injuries to her back, shoulder and foot.
The woman is now recovering in Warialda Hospital.
The 87-year-old male passenger was taken to Inverell Hospital before he was transported to Armidale Hospital.
The man’s condition continued to deteriorate and he was airlifted to Tamworth Base Hospital where he later died on Tuesday (26 September 2017).
Inquires continue. A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers.
