Medical condition caused double fatality

A crash that left two women dead in northern Tasmania may have been caused by a medical condition.

Police say early investigations indicate the 65-year-old driver, who died in the accident, may have experienced a medical issue.

An 81-year-old passenger was also killed when the car in which they were travelling lost control on a bend in Ulverstone on Sunday afternoon.

Another passenger, an 83-year-old woman, is in a stable condition after suffering multiple fractures.

A 63-year-old male pedestrian was expected to be discharged from hospital after suffering leg injuries.

The names of the dead women have not been released.

The crash will be investigated by the coroner.
