An 11-year-old girl has died after the car she was travelling in plunged into a dam near Tenterfield in northern New South Wales.
Emergency service crews were called to a site near the intersection of Bruxner Highway and Bryans Gap Road at Tenterfield at 3:30pm on Wednesday.
Police said the car crashed into the water after smashing into a tree.
The 11-year-old was unresponsive when pulled from the water and died at the scene.
The driver, a 50-year-old woman, was also rescued from the water by paramedics and taken to Tenterfield Hospital in a stable condition.
Tenterfield Mayor Bronwyn Petrie said she was "saddened by the tragic news".
"This is devastating to her family and also for the first responders at the scene," she said.
Police have established a crime scene and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
