The Highway Safety Action Group of NSW Inc, is a high-profile voluntary community organisation promoting road safety.

It was established at a public meeting in Orange in May 1992 by more than 400 people following the death of several young people on roads in Central West NSW.

HSAG founder, Marj Bollinger, was closely touched by the accidents, when her son Neil was involved in a crash that killed two people and severely injured another passenger.

Six weeks later popular local journalist Sonya Reece died when wool bales fell from a truck onto her car at Mt Lambie near Lithgow.

Heavy vehicles travelling on the poorly maintained Great Western Highway caused both accidents.

There was an opportunity to turn these tragic accidents into something positive through strong community action on road safety in regional NSW.

The HSAG was the product of that moment.
