Up-date - two die in Tomago crash

A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner into the deaths of two men north of Newcastle overnight, NSW Police say.

It was about 9.30pm today, that emergency services were called to Masonite Road, near the intersection of Cabbage Tree Road, at Tomago, responding to reports of a crash.

They found a 2015-model Ford Ranger 4WD utility had left the road, rolled onto its side and slid 85m before hitting a power pole; the pole snapped on impact.

Two men travelling in the utility died at the scene.

The men have yet to be formally identified; however, police are waiting to confirm they are aged 28 and 25, and from the local area.

Masonite Road was closed for seven hours while investigations were conducted.

Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stopers.
