A female driver is fighting for life after a crash involving her car, a small truck and a B-double on the Pacific Highway at Shark Creek, near Maclean on the north coast.
The 27-year-old woman, who had to be freed from the wreckage, suffered critical head and abdominal injuries.
A 30-year-old male passenger in the same car suffered minor injuries.
Grafton Police Sergeant Harley Willox said, “we’re looking at the information provided by a number of witnesses which may indicate as to what has actually happened.”
The woman was airlifted to Gold Coast University Hospital.
