Two men have died following a single-vehicle crash in the state's Riverina Region overnight.
About 2.30am (Sunday 10 October 2021), emergency services were called to the Olympic Highway near Henty, south of Wagga Wagga, following reports a Holden Colorado had left the roadway, rolled down an embankment before hitting trees, ejecting the occupants.
A 22-year-old man died at the scene.
A 31-year-old man was treated; however, died on route to Wagga Wagga Base Hospital.
Officers from Riverina Police District attended and established a crime scene. The highway was closed while the scene was forensically examined and has since been reopened.

Reports will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.
