At 7pm on Saturday morning, three vehicles collided on Victoria Road, just past Paddock Drive. The number of injuries could not be confirmed.

On Saturday evening, a truck hit a pedestrian on the N11 just past Waterside Wimpy. Sadly, the pedestrian sustained fatal injuries.

A number of other small accidents and collisions, largely attributed to a music festival at Amcor Dam on Saturday night, occurred over the weekend.
