Fatal crash at Lindisfarne

Sadly, an 83 year-old man has died following a crash at Avoca St, Lindisfarne today.

Police and emergency services were called to the scene about 2:20pm, with initial inquiries indicating the crash may have been related to a medical episode.

Preliminary investigations indicate the Holden Captiva rolled down a driveway into a fence shortly after the man got into the driver’s seat.

The vehicle then crossed the road and crashed into a fence. A woman, who was not in the vehicle, received what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries in the incident.

Our thoughts are with the man’s family and loved ones. A report will be prepared for the coroner.
