NSW Police have issued a formal statement relating to the incident on Bramble Street clifftop last night.

“A police operation on the NSW Far South Coast to retrieve a vehicle that went over a cliff at the end of Bramble Street Eden has been suspended due to weather conditions,” a NSW Police Force spokesperson said.

“The vehicle was seen to drive over the cliff at about 8.15pm Monday October 26 and land in the water at the bottom.”

“It’s believed the driver was a 68 year old man. Eden Water Police will attempt to access the site tomorrow or once conditions have eased. The incident is not believed to be suspicious and the report will be prepared for the coroner.”

Eden Water police spoke to the Eden Magnet and confirmed that the NSW Police Dive Unit will attend the scene tomorrow morning, pending weather conditions, with divers attempting to access the vehicle.

This update follows an Eden Magnet report filed earlier this morning, as follows: 

Police have cordoned off the clifftop of the Bramble Street lookout in Eden, after an incident on Monday night in which a person is reported to have died.

The scene is directly below the Eden Marine Rescue building, with police tape and witches hats indicating the area of interest. 

The police media unit has advised Fairfax Regional Media that it is currently being regarded as a non-suspicious death, but has not released further information.

We are awaiting a full police brief and will update news accordingly.
