Initial investigations indicate that around 9.30am, a vehicle was travelling south towards Crows Nest, when it is believed to have travelled into the northbound lane. Another vehicle, trav- elling north, allegedly took evasive action and the first vehicle collided with a utility that was travelling behind the sec- ond vehicle. During the crash, the second vehicle was clipped by the first vehi- cle, causing minor dam- age and no injuries to the man who was driving.
