You may have seen on tonight's news or ABC radio about an accident occurring last night on the Marble Bar Nullagine Rd. Two fatalities and a few seriously injured.

I went passed the site of the accident today and had heard local and radio reports that it involved two vehicles in a head on collision. By then the vehicles had been towed away. It was on a rise that has a slight bend in it. Alcohol may have been a factor - I'm not sure

As some of you may be aware that this road from Newman northbound is frequently used by Heavy Vehicles supplying FMG's operations. The condition of this road is appalling. As one truckie described it as ' A national disgrace'. The corrugations are shocking. The heavies drive 10km/h.
Yes I agree that this road and probably many others need greater funding! But I'll leave that debate for another time...

It just goes to show how a split second lapse of concentration can cause such a fatal accident.

And please keep to the left when approaching a CREST!!!!

So just a final thought please everyone take care on dirt roads!
