HRP has learned that a black Mazda 6 driven by a 25 year old man with a 23 year old female passenger had just left the MacKay Bridge and were travelling Southbound on Barrington St when a Toyota Tercel, that was travelling Northbound on Barrington St, driven by a 75 year old woman, crossed into the Southbound lane and struck the Mazda head on.
