Two dead on NSW roads in less than 24 hrs

Two drivers have died on NSW roads in less than 24 hours following separate ute crashes.

A man, yet to be formally identified, was killed after his ute crashed off the Snowy Mountains Highway, near Adelong on Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile, a woman died after the ute she was driving, which was towing a horse float, crossed over to the wrong side of the road and smashed into a tree near Tamworth on Monday evening.

Witnesses attempted to help the 69-year-old driver, however, she died at the scene.

There were no passengers in the vehicle or animals in the float, police said.
