A 68-year-old woman has died while kayaking in the state’s Northern Rivers Region.
Police say emergency services were called to Upper Tooloom Creek, in the Tooloom National Park, after reports a kayaker had capsized about 12.10pm on Saturday.
“Police have been told the 68-year-old was kayaking with friends downstream when her kayak hit a log and she fell into fast flowing water before getting snagged on another log,” NSW Police said in a statement.
“Despite efforts to rescue her, she died at the scene.
“Rescue crews attended however the woman’s body could not be recovered yesterday because of unsafe conditions.”
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
