Man dies after cross-border police pursuit ends in NSW northern rivers

New South Wales police have declared a critical incident after a man died following a cross-border pursuit that ended in the state's northern rivers region. According to The Guardian, the chase began in Queensland late on Saturday, after a report of an armed man on the Gold Coast, and the same twenty-five-year-old was later found unconscious at the wheel of a vehicle that had driven down an embankment south of Murwillumbah around two a.m. on Sunday. Police say he had allegedly evaded Queensland officers while armed with a gun before the incident.
