Inverell Police confirmed that the local highway patrol were called out to a two vehicle accident on the the intersection just before 2pm today, Tuesday, October 9.
The vehicles were later removed from the accident site by a towing and salvage company. No injuries were reported.

“You are better off arriving late at a destination, than not at all,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Middlemiss said.
