Far North residents took to social media to express sympathies and to thank emergency services. Ev Findlay thanked the wonderful community Âmembers who assisted my friend and her son yesterday at the horrific accident in the main street . It was wonderful how everyone came together selflessly and cared for them, Ms Findlay said. A huge thank you and praise for the police and ambulance officers.
