About 8.20am on Monday, July 10, a Nissan Navara utility was being driven south on the Pacific Highway at Heron’s Creek by a 32-year-old woman, with a 31-year-old male passenger in the front seat.
About 2.5 kilometres south of Aintree Close, the vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree.
As a result of the impact, the passenger sustained critical injuries and died at the scene.
