Transport Minister Andrew Constance has called for a solution to the notorious section of the Princes Highway south of Batemans Bay known as the ‘Mad Mile’.
The Bega MP’s comments followed an accident this morning, Friday, November 17, and a life-threatening accident on November 6.
“Every accident is different, and I don’t know the cause of these accidents,” he said, speaking to the Bay Post/Moruya Examiner in Batemans Bay.
“What we do know is that it is a dangerous section of road, where a concentration of accidents are happening.
“In the mid- to long-term, we need to investigate and invest in solutions.
“If the concern is speed, we need to consider trying to change driver behaviour.”
A man and a woman were hospitalised after the November 17 accident. A NSW Health spokesperson said both victims were in a stable condition, but would be transferred to The Canberra Hospital for trauma investigation.
A mother is fighting for her life in a Sydney hospital after the November 6 accident.
