A Jindabyne father and his two young daughters were killed in a horror crash on the notorious Kings Highway near Braidwood yesterday.
The head-on collision about 4.30pm blocked the highway for more than three hours, delaying hundreds of Canberra motorists as they made their way to the South Coast for the Canberra Day long weekend.
NSW Police said the dead man was 52-years old and his daughters were 10 and eight.
The collision took place about eight kilometres east of Braidwood. Witnesses said traffic was banked up from the accident scene all the way through to the town’s main street.
The highway was re-opened about 7.40pm.
According to police, the father and little girls were travelling towards Braidwood – about 90 kilometres east of Canberra – in a maroon Ford Falcon station wagon when they collided with a black Mitsubishi Outlander which was travelling east towards the south coast.
The 43-year-old male driver of the Mitsubishi and three other passengers – a 39-year-old woman, 13-year-old girl and 11-year-old girl – were taken to Canberra Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police, emergency workers and the Snowy Hydro Rescue Helicopter attended the scene.
NSW Police Inspector Neil Grey said last night that the Ford appeared to have lost control, hitting the Outlander. Police were investigating the cause of the accident and a report was being prepared by the coroner.
The accident scene was strewn with broken glass and twisted metal as well as beach towels, clothes, shopping bags and pillows.
Hundreds of motorists waited in Braidwood’s Wallace Street yesterday as the accident site was cleared.
A Braidwood Bakery supervisor said traffic was banked up as “far as the eye could see”.
There was five fatal crashes on the Kings Highway near Braidwood between June 2004 and the end of May last year, an RTA discussion paper on roadside hazards in the area found. There was another 12 crashes on the Kings Highway near Braidwood during the same period. Thirteen of the 17 crashes involved vehicles approaching Braidwood from both sides of town.
More than half of the crashes involved a collision into roadside objects.
“In all five fatal crashes a vehicle collided with a tree,” the report said.
“Roadside hazards in this area include trees, culverts (drains), and Mona Creek where it is located close to the road.”
The NRMA said the road was a black spot and needed a significant injection of funding to make it safer.
ACT and southern region director Alan Evans said the road had a number of major defects from lack of overtaking lanes to hazards and poorly aligned curbs.
Despite some improvements to the road, Mr Evans said it had been a concern for many years.
“There is increased traffic in the area, it’s a major commuter road now,” Mr Evans said.
“Improving the road certainly needs to be brought back into focus.
“We know from the National Roads Strategy, if you build safer roads you can reduce the death toll by 50 per cent.”
Any witnesses to the collision yesterday should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
