It is understood a car and motorcycle were involved in a crash about 23 kilometres west of Narrandera.

Nicquie Sinclair from the Transport Management Centre said westbound traffic from Narrandera was being diverted along Irrigation Way to travel via Yanco, Leeton, Whitton and Darlington Point to then rejoin the highway from Kidman Way. 

“Eastbound traffic from Darlington Point is being diverted at Kidman Way to travel via Whitton, Leeton and Yanco and then Irrigation Way to rejoin the highway at Narrandera,” Ms Sinclair said.

“This diversion is suitable for all vehicles, but adds about 30 minutes to journeys.

“Emergency services and traffic crews are on site working to clear the accident, but there is no forecast for when the Sturt Highway will reopen.”
