Police investigate fatal truck crash

ONE person is dead after two trucks collided at Euston on Wednesday.

Emergency services were called to Sturt Highway following reports two trucks had collided about 5.35pm.

One driver died at the scene and is yet to be formally identified.

The other driver, a 29-year-old man, was assessed at the scene before being taken to hospital for mandatory testing.

One of the trucks was carrying insecticide, and as a result of the collision, caused a chemical spill which Fire and Rescue NSW worked to contain and decontaminate.

A crime scene has been established, with the Sturt Highway closed in both directions at the Murray Valley Highway intersection.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

The number of lives lost on NSW roads stood at 96 for the year, seven more than the same time last year.
