FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A hit-and-run incident that claimed the life of a cyclist in northern NSW, and fatalities in Victoria and Queensland have increased the national holiday road toll to 49.
On the final evening of the road toll period, the figure was one fewer than the 50 fatalities on Australia’s roads in the 2010-2011 holidays.
NSW Police are trying to find the driver of a vehicle that hit a man on a bicycle at Mullumbimby, causing him serious head injuries.
Officers were called to the scene at about 10am (AEDT).
A surf lifesaver who had stopped at the scene tried to save the man, aged in his 30s, but the cyclist died later in Mullumbimby Hospital.
Police are preparing a report for the coroner on the latest fatality, which pushes the state’s road toll to 19.
Meanwhile a woman in her 70s died in a head-on car crash in Melbourne that sent three others to hospital.
Police say a Ford sedan had crossed over the centre line on Tuesday afternoon, striking another vehicle in the southern bayside suburb of Mentone.
The driver of the Ford suffered life-threatening injuries while one of his passengers, a woman, in her 70s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two women in the other vehicle were also injured and taken to hospital.
The woman’s death takes Victoria’s holiday road toll to nine.
In Queensland, a 48-year-old man died after the car in which he was travelling hit a tree in the state’s southeast.
The four-wheel drive hit the tree after leaving the Bruce Highway at Apple Tree Creek, near Childers, just before 7am (AEST) on Tuesday, police say.
The man, a passenger, died at the scene.
The 61-year-old driver of the car was taken to Bundaberg Base Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The death brought the holiday road toll in Queensland to nine.
Over the Christmas period three people have died on South Australia’s roads, one person has died in the Northern Territory, seven people in Western Australia, and one person in Tasmania.
There have been no fatalities in the ACT.
