On April 28, 2024, emergency services attended a single-vehicle accident, resulting in the death of the 25-year-old driver and the 19-year-old passenger being taken to Bathurst Hospital.
The crash occurred at the Larson and Rocket Streets intersection, with a nearby resident describing the scene as having an "enormous response from local emergency services".
"Around six police cars attended with another emergency vehicle providing lighting from a mounting at least four metres from the ground," the resident said.
"A chopper arrived at around 10pm and more police arrived shortly after."
The following day
By around 9.30am on April 29, the site had been cleared, with flowers laid at the base of the telegraph pole the car crashed into.
Skid marks were visible on the road heading towards the pole.
With investigations into the cause of the crash in their infancy, police were unable to comment on any possible contributing factors, as they are subject to the ongoing investigation and a toxicology report.
Police are preparing a report for the coroner and will speak to witnesses and the passenger in the car as investigations continue.
Anyone with information on the crash can contact Bathurst Police or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
