Horror crash closes major NSW highway
Two people have been killed in a horror crash on the NSW far south coast, closing the Princes Highway.
Two people died when their vehicle was involved in a two-car collision on the Princes Highway at Kiah, south of Eden, on Saturday afternoon.
Emergency services raced to the scene at about 1.45pm, with the highway closed in both directions.
Two people who were travelling in the same vehicle died, NSW Police said.
A female driver and male passenger, aged in their 60s, in another car suffered minor injuries.
The female driver has been taken to South East Regional Hospital at Bega for mandatory testing.
The highway was closed as police established a crime scene and began an investigation into the crash.
Motorists were told to divert via the Snowy Mountains Highway, Monaro Highway and Imlay Road, however that was expected to add significant time onto their journeys.
'The area is expected to remain a crime scene for a considerable amount of time and motorists are urged to avoid the area,' NSW Police said.
