NSW: 2 killed, at least 5 more injured as NSW toll rises to six

Two people have been killed on New South Wales road and at least five more have been
seriously injured, as the state's Christmas road toll climbs to six.

A woman died in a three-car pile-up near Merimbula on the south coast this morning.

Police say five others, including two children, were rushed to hospital.

The woman, who is yet to be formally identified, was found dead at the scene by ambulance
workers.

A 55-year-old man also died after two cars collided in Wollongong early today.

Police say one car crashed into the side of another near the corner of West and Auburn streets.

The man died from his injuries while the driver of the second car was treated for shock.
