Joint statement on ADF vehicle incident

A short time ago there was a serious vehicle incident involving two Australian Defence Force vehicles near Lismore.

A number of ADF personnel have been injured, some seriously.

Medical assistance is on hand. We stress this is an ongoing incident.

Right now our focus is on the welfare of those involved and their families.

Our ADF heroes were on their way to help Australians in need.
