A critical incident investigation is underway after a man died following a crash in Gunnedah this morning.

Officers attached to Oxley Police District were patrolling Wandobah Road, Gunnedah, about 8.50am today (Monday 19 September 2022), when they directed the driver of a silver Mitsubishi Lancer to stop.

That investigation will be subject to an independent review.

A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.
