A man will face court after a fatal crash that occurred earlier this year.
About 1am on Monday 5 January 2026, emergency services responded to reports that a woman had allegedly been struck by a sedan travelling along Mt Dromedary Trail, Central Tilba.
It will be alleged the 36-year-old woman was on the roadway at the time of the impact.
Police will further allege the sedan then collided with a utility that had rolled onto its side a short time earlier.
In the nearby vicinity of the crash was the driver and a 31-year-old female passenger from the utility.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the three people for minor injuries – and the 36-year-old woman, who had been a passenger in the utility – before they were taken to Moruya Hospital as a precaution.
The 36-year-old woman died a short time later.
The drivers – both men aged 32 – also underwent mandatory testing.
All parties are known to one another.
Officers from South Coast Police District established a crime scene and commenced an investigation.
It will be alleged the sedan was unregistered and the driver of the sedan later returned a positive result to alcohol following a blood analysis.
