A woman has died and a man has been taken to Canberra Hospital with serious injuries after a tow truck crashed in the Snowy Mountains late on Saturday.
NSW police said the woman, who was a passenger in the tow truck, died after the vehicle - which was towing a ute - left the Snowy Mountains Highway and slid down an embankment at Kiandra, south-east of Talbingo about 7.30pm.
Police said the woman had died by the time paramedics from NSW Ambulance and officers from Monaro Police District arrived at the scene.
