Injuries prove fatal in Spreyton crash

Sadly, a 75-year-old man has died as a result of injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash at Sheffield Road, Spreyton, on Tuesday.

The man, from Tasmania’s North-West, was injured in a head-on collision involving his black Holden Commodore and a white Nissan Navara about 4:10pm.

He was transferred to Launceston General Hospital on Tuesday afternoon in a critical condition, but died overnight.

The 62-year-old male driver of the second vehicle, also from the North-West, received serious injuries in the crash and remains in Launceston General Hospital for treatment.

There were no passengers in either vehicle and no other people were injured as a result of the collision.

Sheffield Road at Spreyton was closed for several hours while emergency crews and traffic crash investigators worked at the scene.

Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the two men.

Police investigations are continuing and anyone with information, or dash-cam or CCTV footage of the incident, is asked to contact police on 131 444.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
