A man has died in hospital following a collision with livestock in the state's west last week.
Just before 9pm on Saturday 29 May 2021, a Ford Meteor was travelling northbound on Thunderbolts Way, Yarrowyck, about 30km north-west of Armidale, when he collided with several cows which had strayed onto the road.
The Ford left the roadway and crashed into a ditch, trapping the driver and sole occupant, an 18-year-old man.
He was freed by emergency services and treated by paramedics before being airlifted to John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition.
Officers attached to New England Police District attended and commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Yesterday (Monday 1 June 2021), police were advised the man had died in hospital.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
