A body has been found in the search for a man who went missing in NSW floodwaters yesterday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to Wild Cattle Creek Bridge off Old Coramba Road, Megan after reports the ute being driven across was swept into floodwaters.
The driver, a 61-year-old man, was able to get out of the ute and climb into a tree about 30m from the riverbank but emergency personnel were unable to reach the man before he was swept away.
Local police, Fire and Rescue NSW personnel and SES members immediately commenced a search of the area, which continued today.
The body of a man was located nearby at 4.30pm today.
While the body is yet to be formally identified, it is believed to be that of the missing man.
