Police are seeking witnesses to a head-on collision on Appin Road that killed a teenage P-plate driver yesterday.
The 19-year-old man was driving a Hyundai coupe eastbound about 7.45am when his car and a Holden Rodeo ute collided about 2.5 kilometres west of the Loddon River Bridge.
The teenager died at the scene.
A 55-year-old man who was driving the ute was treated by ambulance paramedics at the scene before being taken to St George Hospital with internal injuries.
Police from Campbelltown and Wollongong and the traffic and highway patrol command responded to the incident.
The road was closed in both directions between Appin and the F6 for almost four hours.
Roads and Maritime Service crews set up road blocks while crash investigation unit officers scoured the scene for evidence.
Investigations into the cause of the crash were continuing. Police urged anyone who witnessed the collision or circumstances leading up to it to come forward.
Yesterday's crash was the second fatal accident on Appin Rd in just three weeks.
An eight-year-old boy died on September 28 in a head-on crash between two cars 10 kilometres south-east of Appin.
Anyone with information about yesterday's crash is urged to contact Campbelltown police on 4620 1199 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
