A man has died and a woman has been left seriously injured after a horror crash on the NSW South Coast.

Emergency services were called to Tomerong, south of Nowra, on the Princes Hwy about 8.30am on Friday following reports of a two-vehicle crash.

NSW Ambulance responded and commenced CPR on the male driver – believed to be in his 50s – however, despite their best efforts, he could not be revived and died at the scene.

Paramedics also treated the 21-year-old female driver for leg and back injuries.

She has since been flown to St George Hospital in a serious but stable condition.

The highway was closed, with travellers being diverted via Island Point Rd, Grange Rd and Hawken Rd in each direction.

The highway remained closed in each direction on Friday.

South Coast Police District officers established a crime scene and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash has commenced.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
