Two people have died in hospital following a serious motor vehicle crash in Northern NSW last month, NSW Police say.
About 9pm on Tuesday 27 September 2016, a red Nissan 300ZX with five occupants was travelling on Mount Lindesay Road, Woodenbong, about 100km northwest of Lismore, when it left the roadway and crashed into an embankment.
The driver, a 20-year-old man, and two of the passengers – a 17-year-old girl and 16-year-old boy – were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before being taken to Lismore Base Hospital.
The 20-year-old man was later transferred to the Gold Coast Hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition.
The two other passengers, a 17-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man were airlifted to the Gold Coast Hospital and Princess Alexandra Hospital Brisbane respectively, in a critical condition.
The 17-year-old youth and the 22-year-old man both died yesterday.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
Police from the Crash Investigation Unit are continuing to investigate the incident and urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash to come forward.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers.
