A man and his companion were killed in a collision on a South Coast road, according to local reports. Grant Warren, 47, was among the two fatalities. The incident occurred on a quiet stretch of road near the coastal town of Kiama.
Emergency services were called to the scene after witnesses reported a vehicle struck the pair. The driver, identified as a local resident, was arrested at the scene. Police are investigating whether the crash was caused by speeding or a failure to yield.
This is the second fatal accident on the South Coast in less than a month. Last week, a similar incident near Cronulla left two cyclists injured. Authorities have warned drivers to exercise caution on the region’s narrow coastal roads, which are known for sudden weather changes and limited visibility.
The crash has sparked renewed calls for improved road safety measures in the area. Local officials have pledged to review traffic conditions and consider additional signage. Families of the victims have expressed their grief, with one relative describing the deceased as a “protective figure” in their lives.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about road safety on the South Coast, where weather and road design contribute to a high risk of accidents. Investigations are ongoing, and further details are expected in the coming days.
