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

A 25-year-old man from Queensland died after being involved in a cross-border police pursuit in New South Wales' northern rivers area. The incident occurred hours after the man allegedly evaded Queensland police while armed with a gun. Queensland authorities initially reported the man as an 'armed man' on Robina Town Centre Drive, leading to a chase that crossed into NSW territory. NSW police pursued the vehicle, using road spikes to try to stop it, but the vehicle continued for about 20km before crashing down an embankment. When officers arrived, they found the driver unconscious at the wheel, and despite attempts at CPR, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. A firearm was recovered from the vehicle.
