About 6pm yesterday (Sunday 15 December 2019), a Ford utility was travelling west towards Barraba when the driver lost control and rolled several times.
A short time later, the occupants of a vehicle passing by stopped and assisted the three women, the 23-year-old driver and two passengers aged 18, who suffered various injuries.
The passers-by conducted CPR on the driver until emergency services arrived.
