A ute rollover on a quiet country road has left a man dead and a woman in hospital after they were pulled from the wreckage. NSW Police rushed to the scene at about 3.50pm on Friday to reports the silver Ford Ranger had rolled near Elcombe Rd and Royal Oak Rd near Bangheet, about 90km east of Moree in northern NSW. The 56-year-old male passenger died at the scene despite paramedics giving him extensive CPR.
