A man dies following a police pursuit that crosses from Queensland into New South Wales, with NSW Police describing the incident as a “critical incident.” Police say officers in Queensland were seeking a man reported to be armed with a firearm before he entered NSW. NSW Police report that Queensland officers told them the armed man had crossed into the state before he crashed.
Reports from multiple outlets state that the pursuit ends with the man’s car going down an embankment near Murwillumbah, in the northern rivers area. NSW Police say the man is found unconscious at the wheel of the vehicle about 2am on Sunday and later dies. One source identifies the man as 25 years old from Queensland.
The information provided across outlets consistently describes an alleged firearm at the time of the chase and the fatal crash in NSW, but details about the exact circumstances of the pursuit, including the route and whether shots were fired, are not specified in the supplied accounts.
