A FATAL petrol tanker crash that shut down the Princes Highway in New South Wales has claimed two lives.
The tanker and a ute collided on the highway south of Berry, in southern NSW, just after 1am today.
The male ute driver, who has not yet been identified, died at the scene.
The male truck driver, 59, was rushed to St George Hospital but died later this morning.
One of the petrol tanks ruptured in the crash, causing ethanol to leak on to the road.
Hazmat crews are mopping up the spill and an exclusion zone is still in place.
The Princes Highway is closed in both directions between Bomaderry and Gerringong and the NSW Transport Management Centre is warning of half-hour delays.
Police from Shoalhaven Local Area Command will establish and process a crime scene once the area is deemed safe and have urged witnesses to come forward.
The road is expected to stay closed until midday.
