A man has died in hospital following a single-vehicle crash on the state’s north coast earlier this month.
About 7.30pm on Saturday 5 August 2023, emergency services were called to Avenue Road, Ellangowan, about 20km south of Casino, after reports of a single-vehicle crash.
A Ford utility was reportedly travelling south-west when it lost control and collided with a power pole.
The driver and sole occupant – a 43-year-old man- was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics and airlifted to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition.
Officers from Richmond Police District attended the scene and commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Police have since been notified that the man died in hospital on Saturday (26 August 2023).
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
