A couple have made a lucky escape after being pulled from their vehicle by NSW State Emergency Service (SES) Flood Technicians, when they became stuck while trying to navigate a flooded crossing at Barrington, near Gloucester, yesterday.

About 11am (Monday 7 February 2022), emergency services were called to Rocky Crossing, on the Barrington River, after a ute containing two occupants became stuck in the water.

NSW SES crews used a Rural Fire Service (RFS) tanker to access the couple and performed a delicate rescue operation, successfully pulling them to safety.
