UPDATE: Fatal crash on Kings Highway

Police said the driver, who was travelling east along the highway, was the sole occupant and died at the scene.

A spokesman for NSW Fire and Rescue Batemans Bay said they were called to an accident, where police and paramedics were already in attendance, with a person trapped just before 3pm.

He said the badly damaged car had left the road at a bend near the Misty Mountain Road turnoff.

“We opened up the back of the car to allow access and to determine no passengers were present,” he said.
