Snowy Mountains highway crash near Yarrangobilly

A 75 year old woman had to be freed from a vehicle on the Snowy Mountains Highway yesterday afternoon following a two car accident.

She was taken to Wagga Base Hospital in a serious but stable condition, while another 64 year old woman was transported to Canberra Hospital.

The crash occurred about ten kilometers south of the Yarrangobilly caves, and emergency personnel were on-site shortly before 4:30pm.

Traffic was closed in both directions for a time, but the highway was reopened an hour later.
