Investigators from the Crash Investigation Unit are reappealing for dashcam vision after a man died when a roll of wire struck his vehicle near Grafton earlier this month.
About 6pm on Friday 6 August 2021, emergency services were called to Swan Creek, near Grafton, following reports a Mazda Bravo had been damaged while travelling on Big River Way.
The Mazda driver, a 35-year-old man from Ulmarra, was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics and later airlifted to Gold Coast University Hospital in a critical condition.
The man later died in hospital about 9am on Sunday 8 August 2021.
His two passengers, an eight-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy, were not injured.
