A man has been fined after traveling to the Upper Hunter from Greater Sydney.
Hunter Valley Police District officers say they were called to a crash near Sandy Hollow on the New England Highway yesterday morning at about 7am – when they arrived a truck had tipped on its side on a bend.
The 29-year-old male driver was uninjured and inquiries revealed he was from Blacktown and didn’t have a reasonable excuse to be traveling to the area.
He was issued a $1000 Penalty Infringement Notice.
His passenger, a man from Stanmore, was also not injured and it was deemed he was not contravening the Public Health Order.
