Police are investigating following a fatal crash at Wallsend overnight.

Just after 9pm (Wednesday 16 December 2015), emergency services were called to Thomas Street, at the intersection of Brooks Street, following reports of a crash.

Officers from Newcastle City Local Area Command attended and found a white Daewoo hatchback on its roof after it crashed into two other vehicles.

The 31-year-old male driver of the Daewoo died at the scene.

The female drivers of the two other vehicles – a silver Subaru Impreza and a black Kia Rio – suffered minor injuries and shock and were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance Paramedics.

Both drivers were breath tested at the scene with a negative result.

Initial investigations suggest the Daewoo ran a red light before crashing into the other vehicles.

A crime scene was established and has been examined by specialist officers.
