A driver has died after a crash involving a truck and a ute on the Princes Highway near Ulladulla. The incident occurred at East Lynne, north of Maidens Road, at around 1:30pm on Sunday.
NSW Police reported that the driver of the ute, who has not yet been formally identified, died at the scene. The male truck driver was uninjured and has been taken to Batemans Bay Hospital for mandatory testing.
The Princes Highway remains closed in both directions, causing significant traffic delays. A line of vehicles more than four kilometres long is waiting south of the crash site for the road to be cleared.
The crash happened in a mobile phone reception black spot. Police from the South Coast District have launched an investigation into the incident.
Light vehicles are advised to use a diversion via Braidwood Road and Nowra Hill, then down the Kings Highway to Batemans Bay. Oversized vehicles are being directed to use the Hume Highway.
