Emergency services raced to the Sturt Highway, around 30 kilometres from Wagga, around 4.25pm on Wednesday.

They were responding after concerns were raised to the welfare of a police officer.

Paramedics from NSW Ambulance also responded to the location, but were unable to revive the officer.

Police said that there is no evidence the incident is suspicious.

A critical incident team has been formed to investigate the circumstances surrounding the officer’s death and will be subject to independent review.
