A man has died following a two-vehicle crash in the state’s Southern Tablelands.

Emergency services were called to Taralga Road, near Racecourse Drive, Goulburn, to reports of a crash early yesterday evening.

Initial inquiries suggest a white Isuzu utility traveling north collided with a silver Ford sedan, causing the sedan to spin before it stopped on the opposite side of the roadway.

The driver and sole occupant of the Ford, a man believed to be aged in his 30s, died at the scene.

The driver of the utility, a 27-year-old man, was uninjured and conveyed to Goulburn Base Hospital for mandatory testing.

Officers from The Hume Police District established a crime scene and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash is underway.

A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.
