Police and
emergency services are trying to expedite the reopening of
SH1 south of Warkworth following a fatal crash.
A car
left the road at the intersection with Toovey Road, 2kms
south of the township and indications are that the 80 year
old male driver may have suffered a heart attack leading to
the incident. The woman passenger in the vehicle, believed
to be the man's wife, was uninjured and is being taken to be
with relatives.
An off-duty police member witnessed the
crash and was able to immediately begin CPR. This was
continued upon the arrival of ambulance staff to no

The only available diversions take traffic some
considerable way away from the main highway and steps are
being taken to have lanes open by 2.00pm.
