A man has died following a serious crash at Woolbrook, north of Tamworth earlier this week.

Just after 7pm on Tuesday 22 December 2020, a Toyota Prado 4WD was travelling west on the Oxley Highway when it appears to have left the roadway, travelled through grassland and impacted with a dirt culvert.

The 81-year-old male driver was assisted from the car by a passing motorist before emergency services were contacted.

The injured man was taken to Tamworth Base Hospital for treatment where his condition deteriorated.

The man died in hospital yesterday (Thursday 23 December 2020).

A brief will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.
