A multi-agency search has resumed for two people missing in flood waters in the NSW Southern Tablelands since late last night.
NSW Police say that at around 11.15pm on Monday, emergency services were called to Rugby Road in Bevendale, about 50km east of Boorowa, following reports a vehicle had been swept into floodwaters.
Police have been told a ute attempted to cross a flooded causeway at Prestons Creek when it was swept off the road by water.
“Two men managed to free themselves from the cabin of the vehicle, however, another two men who are believed to have been travelling in the tray have not been located,” Police said in a statement this morning.
“Emergency services were contacted and attended the scene, with the search – involving local police and the State Emergency Service (SES) – suspended due to poor light and adverse conditions just after 2am today.”
The search has since resumed this morning.
