A collision on the Princes Highway at Darnum yesterday saw five people, including a three-month-old, admitted to hospital.
“Officers have been told a white Ford sedan was travelling west along the Princes Highway when the driver allegedly attempted to make a U-turn east of the Darnum overpass about 1.25pm,” police spokesperson Lauren Kells said in a media release.
