A passenger has died following a two-vehicle crash in Casino late last month.

About 7.45am on Wednesday, 25 June 2025, emergency services responded to reports of a crash between a red Honda Jazz and a white Isuzu D-Max dual cab utility at the intersection of Canterbury Street and Colches Street, Casino.

NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the passengers of the Honda – a 78-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman – at the scene before they were taken to Lismore Base Hospital in a critical condition.

The man was later airlifted to Gold Coast University Hospital.

The 50-year-old driver of the Honda and the 52-year-old driver and sole occupant of the Isuzu – both females – suffered minor injuries.

Both were also taken to Lismore Hospital for mandatory testing.

Officers from the Crash Investigation Unit have commenced an investigation into the matter. 

On Saturday, 12 July 2025, Richmond Police were advised the 78-year-old man had passed away in hospital.

Police will prepare a report for the information of the Coroner regarding the man’s death.
