Breaking News Update
At 3:52 PM today, emergency services including Pumper 208, Tanker 208, Kingdon Ponds Rural Fire Brigade, NSW Ambulance, and Hunter Valley Police District swiftly responded to a harrowing single-vehicle accident on Segenhoe Road. The vehicle was engulfed in flames upon their arrival. Miraculously, both occupants, a male and a female, managed to escape the inferno before emergency responders arrived.
The accident could have resulted in far graver consequences. A wooden fence railing had pierced through the front of the vehicle, traversing from the front wheel to the boot, with its trajectory narrowly missing the occupants. Regrettably, the railing struck the female passenger, causing injury to her head.
While the male driver emerged unscathed, the female passenger required medical attention and was promptly transported to the hospital via ambulance. Today’s events underscore the importance of swift emergency response and serve as a reminder of the fragility of life on our roads.
