Traffic was diverted after a fatal crash on Tod Rd yesterday.
A trip to the beach turned to tragedy on Tuesday afternoon when a ute carrying two men rolled on Tod Rd, Otane.
The crash occurred around 2.35pm, between Elsthorpe Rd and Evans Rd, with police saying the driver appeared to have lost control. The vehicle rolled, leaving the road and
coming to a stop in a paddock.
A police spokesperson said the passenger took the brunt of the impact and has died as a result.
Stuff spoke to a farm worker who wished to remain anonymous, but said he arrived at the scene and saw a man in bare feet walking around, and realised he must have gone off the road.
"The ute had gone through the fence and into the paddock, it had rolled on to its roof.
