About 11.40am on Friday 15 August 2025, emergency services responded to reports of a multi vehicle crash along Mount Ousley Road, Mount Ousley.
Officers attached to Traffic and Highway Patrol Command were informed that a truck travelling south bound had crashed into a Mercedes sedan – driven by a 20-year-old man - causing it to roll where it collided with a cement truck driven by a 32-year-old man. A Mazda sedan driven by a 19-year-old woman was also involved in the collision.
