Crash sparks Snowy Mountains Highway safety boost
Posted
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) has released details of plans to improve safety on the Snowy Mountains Highway at Adelong, in response to a fatal truck crash last month.
A 42-year-old Sydney man died when his truck careered into the Royal Hotel.
It is the third time the pub has been hit by a truck coming down the steep hill into Adelong.
After a meeting of representatives from the RTA, police and Tumut Shire Council, it has been decided to install a low gear section for heavy vehicles coming from the east into town.
More signs are planned to warn of the steep decline.
