Nsw volunteers firefighter dies in truck rollover near albury
16:45 A woman, 48, has been arrested after she was accused of a crash involving a road rage incident and a truck that left a woman dead on the NSW south coast on Saturday morning.
The woman, who cannot be named, was arrested by police in the south coast town of Albury shortly after 1pm.
The woman's alleged partner, 54-year-old Andrew Walker, suffered life-threatening injuries.
Police released her name and other details of her arrest following a lengthy manhunt.
They also released her condition following surgery at the Royal Alfred hospital in Hobart on Tuesday.
Walker and her partner, who was off work at the time of the accident, were not injured.
The 42-year-old woman was driving a Nissan Skyline on Atherton Road, Albury around 12pm when she became separated from the driver in a truck about six metres from them.
Her boyfriend, who had been using the public transport system as the car was driven, came across her on the other side of the road.
In a Facebook post posted by police, Albury Fire and Rescue station chief Inspector Mike Stenhouse said Walker had been in the wrong road too many times while intoxicated.
"In this case, we believe the person in question was off her meds for her first time doing this kind of stuff on the road," he said.
Mr Stenhouse said she was believed to have had drugs in her system.
A short time after he made that statement, officers spotted Walker's vehicle in Atherton Road.
"Her partner was driving with her," Inspector Stenhouse said. "At this stage there was no contact with her."
When police turned her over to paramedics, they noticed they were concerned for her health.
Walker was taken to the Royal Alfred Hospital where she underwent surgery. She suffered life-threatening injuries to her head and neck.

Direct injection carbon engine uses brown coal fuel, usually used in industrial areas, as the primary fuel. It's designed to be reliable and efficient, but at an enormous price.
The engine is a low-tech hybrid that uses combustion heat to generate oxygen and water at high temperatures to provide energy, and water, carbon dioxide and methane for power.
The fuel's use in the car will be a way for Tesla to reduce the environmental impact of its use of coal. However, the technology may also prove costly if it's deployed in a car. Musk is currently using the technology in the Model S P90D prototype, which uses the most advanced lithium ion battery technology available, and it's currently being tested in Tesla's production cars.
While Musk is committed to using the technology in his fleet of luxury cars, the technology is not yet fully-automated and could prove more difficult to deploy as a commercial fuel. At the moment it's not possible for cars with combustion and hybrid drivetrain to operate on water â at least initially.
As a long-term goal for the technology, however, Musk said he plans to get the car to operate with only a bit of fuel left when all other vehicles are shut down, using a "reverse gasoline engine" at peak times. |
