The community is rallying for well known South Coast chef Rob Salmon, who was involved in a very serious accident on the highway near Silos Estate where he runs the restaurant.

He sustained multiple life threatening injuries in the accident on Monday, was airlifted to Sydney and remains in a critical condition in hospital.

As well as being behind catering and restaurant business Salmon & Co in Berry, he ran Seahaven Cafe in Gerroa when it first opened (now The Blue Swimmer).

A gofundme page has been created to help him and his family get through the difficult journey ahead.
