NSW: Second man dies after mini-bus crash=2
In a horror morning for the stretch of the Pacific Highway between Coffs Harbour and
Woolgoolga, the turnoff to Emerald Beach was the scene of a seven car pile-up.
Less than 5km north of Moonee beach, the second crash occurred at 7.50am (AEDT) when
a car was preparing to turn right off the highway, a police spokesman said.
NSW Ambulance Service said no-one was seriously injured in the accident, but six people
had been transported to Coffs Harbour for treatment.
The two accidents come just days after five people, including three generations of
women from a Sydney family, were killed when their car collided with a truck on a northern
NSW highway.
Heather Corcoran, aged 70, her two daughters, Lorraine Corcoran, 44, and Donna Corcoran,
47, and her 21-year-old granddaughter Melieta Corcoran all died in the crash, which occurred
10km north of Boggabri on Sunday.
The young woman's 22-year-old partner, identified in media reports as Brandon Jacobs
of Penrith, also died in the accident.
