Police appeal for information on fatal crash – Cootamundra

Police have appealed to the community for assistance as they continue with their inquiries into a fatal single motor vehicle crash at Harden four months ago.

About 2pm on Monday 19 January 2015, a 38-year-old woman was travelling with her three daughters aged 15, 12 and nine years old from Sydney to Young.

As their silver blue 2005 Nissan Pulsar sedan travelled north on Moppity Road at Harden and appears to have left the road and struck a tree.

The driver was trapped but the three children, who all suffered minor injuries were able to extricate themselves and alight from the vehicle. The children then walked some distance along Moppity Road where they flagged down a passing motorist who alerted emergency services.

Narissa Fox was treated at the scene and conveyed by air to Canberra Hospital to undergo emergency surgery. Sadly she never regained consciousness.
