Two dead in second fatal TARGA Tasmania crash

Police are at the scene of a double-fatal crash at the TARGA Tasmania race, after another racer died yesterday morning.

The crash happened on Wattle Grove Road at Cygnet, around 200m from the Cygnet Coast Road intersection.

Tasmania Police confirmed both the driver and co-driver died at the scene.

The accident comes less than 24 hours after NSW racer Shane Navin died when his 1979 Mazda RX-7 rolled on the Lyell Highway near Double Barrel Creek about 35 kilometres into the race.

Mr Navin's co-driver Glenn Evans was not injured in yesterday's crash.

This is the final day of the TARGA Tasmania race with the event scheduled to wrap in Hobart this afternoon.

More to come.
