Four dead in 24 hours on NSW roads

A double fatality on Thursday morning lifted the toll to four after three separate incidents in a 24-hour period across the state.

Four people have died on NSW roads in the past 24 hours.

Police say a car hit a tree in the state's central west on Thursday morning, leaving two people dead.

A woman driver and male passenger died at the scene on the Newell Highway near West Wyalong when their vehicle crashed just after 9am.

Another person died late on Wednesday night after a car caught fire in a collision with a truck on the Kamilaroi Highway, near Narrabri.

Police said the sole occupant of the car died while the truck driver, who was uninjured, was taken to Narrabri Hospital for mandatory testing.

On Wednesday morning, a woman in her 80s was killed by a car as she tried to cross the busy Narellan Road bypass in Sydney's southwest.
