A man’s body has been found in a submerged car on the NSW north coast, prompting police to urge motorists not to drive into floodwaters.
The SES were called to Rogan Bridge Road at Mylneford, about 20km northwest of Grafton, shortly before 1pm today after a car was seen submerged in floodwaters.
Police are yet to identify the man.
They’re urging motorists not to drive into floodwaters, following the man’s death and the rescues of at least a dozen others from floodwaters during the severe weather passing down the NSW coast.
The man’s death follows that of a 17 year old boy who was sucked into a drainpipe on a golf course on the mid-north coast on Friday night.
The boy was collecting golf balls in waist deep water with friends in the NSW town of Kew before he got swept away.
A friend found his body on Saturday morning.
