A truckie has died following a single-vehicle crash on the Snowy Mountains Highway at Bemboka earlier today.
NSW Police said emergency services were called to the scene, about 470km south of Sydney, at 4am following reports of an accident.
Officers attended and performed CPR on the driver of the truck – a man believed to be aged in his 30s – before the arrival of NSW Ambulance paramedics. However, he died at the scene.
A crime scene was established and officers from South Coast Police District commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The Snowy Mountains Highway was blocked both north and southbound for some time while emergency services remained at the scene of the crash.
Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.
