Police are conducting investigations into what caused three cars to crash in the Royal National Park last night.
About 11:25pm, Saturday 20 October 2012, three cars were travelling east along Sir Betram Stevens Drive and navigating a sharp bend when they all lost control, left the road and crashed into trees.
Police and paramedics attended the scene and the driver and passenger from one of the v
ehicles were taken by ambulance to St George Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
The road was closed for more than three hours while all three vehicles were removed from the scene and examinations of the area conducted.
Sutherland Police are investigating what caused the crashes and believe up to 40 litres of oil had been deliberately poured over a 100m stretch of the road near Warumbul Road.
Sir Betram Stevens Drive has now been cleaned with a large amount of sand used to soak up the oil, however, police are warning motorists that the surface may still remain slippery and to exercise caution.

Yep, saw it this morning, sand all over the joint. At least there are HWP Cars at each end warning people. Too late for our mate Joe who goes real early, he got caught out and went down. Dont know if the sand was down then or not......why not HWP cars there early?
