Far South Coast Local Area Command Inspector Angela Burnell said it was too early to determine the cause of this crash, which was the second on the Kings Highway within 24 hours.

“We are pleading with motorists to be aware of road conditions,” Inspector Burnell said.

“The unpredictable nature of the weather this week and in coming days should be a strong remainder to all road users to adjust to the conditions.

“This crash has not been an isolated incident with a fatality occurring earlier this week, where a vehicle left the road at Mogo.

“In a separate incident, another driver was also fined for driving through 1.4m flood waters,” Insp Burnell said..

Crash Investigators are currently at the location to examine the scene.
