Two accidents in two days on the Princes Highway north of Narooma

10 Feb, 2012 11:58 AM
POLICE and emergency services responded to two accidents in two days on the stretch of Princes Highway between Narooma and Bodalla.

The first accident at around 10am on Thursday occurred when a 90-year-old Moruya man allegedly attempted to do a U-turn in the vicinity of Stony Creek.

Sergeant Steve Mawson of the Narooma police said the man hesitated while attempting to make the turn and another southbound vehicle approaching from behind could not avoid his small silver Daewoo sedan.

The male driver of a Ford table-top utility took evasive action but struck the rear of the sedan tearing one its wheels off.

The elderly man, the other driver and his female passenger, also of Moruya, were all taken to Moruya hospital for observation with minor injuries.

Police investigations into the accident continue.

Then at 7am today (Friday), there was another accident this time just south of Bodalla where a northbound, grey Nissan four-wheel-drive rolled in a rainy and slippery conditions on the first bend leading out of town.

Two women, aged 50 and 60 from Bega, were kept in the vehicle while being assessed by ambulance paramedics, before being taken hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
