11AM: A VEHICLE crash near Bermagui on Tuesday, December 8, is the third to happen at about the same location in a month.
About 4.40pm on the day, a car was travelling along Cobargo-Bermagui Rd in wet conditions when it left the road at a tight corner about 4km before the the intersection with Wallaga Lake Rd.
The car turned off a steep drop and came to rest on its roof.
The 59-year-old male driver had head injuries and was taken to Bega District Hospital while the female passenger, aged 56, had to be cut out of the car by the Volunteer Rescue Association and after being stabilised at the scene was airlifted to Canberra Hospital by the Snowy Hydro SouthCare helicopter.
Both the male and female were from Bermagui.
At least three VRA vehicles from Narooma and Bega groups attended the scene, as well as NSW Ambulance, Bermagui Rural Fire Service and Bermagui Police.
The other two recent crashes occurred on the opposite side of the road but at the same location.
