Investigations are continuing into a fatal car crash on Hungry Head Road at Urunga on Saturday (September 27). Two fishermen discovered the accident scene about 200m from the Pacific Highway at around 5am on Saturday when they noticed bush at the side of the road was on fire, then they saw a car wreck. Investigators found a man's badly burned body inside. Police say it is likely DNA testing will be needed to identify the person. Speed is believed to have been a contributing factor in the accident. Meanwhile, on Friday, (Sept. 26) at around 5.30pm, Dorrigo Ambulance paramedics were called to a motor vehicle collision at Maynards Plains Road. On arrival they found a two-car accident with two patients. One patient still trapped in his vehicle and was suffering from serious leg injuries, this patient was stabilised by Dorrigo and Urunga Ambulance Paramedics with pain relieving medication, intravenous fluids and splinting. This patient was released from the vehicle with the assistance of Dorrigo SES and soon after transported by Ambulance to the Dorrigo Helicopter Pad. The patient was then flown by Tamworth Life Saver Helicopter onto Coffs Harbour Base Hospital for further assessment and treatment.
