"That was over a kilometre with four cars involved in the accident," he said.
"Coolamon Road was closed for approximately an hour. NSW Rural Fire Service, paramedics, and police were all in attendance."
A NSW Ambulance spokesperson said paramedics took one person to Wagga Base Hospital with minor injuries, and another person was assessed on scene.
Earlier this year, Wagga City Council secured funding for an investigation into potential upgrades of the section of Coolamon Road where it crosses Houlaghans Creek Bridge.
Data from June shows that the stretch of road to the north of Wagga has been the site of three fatal crashes in the past five years, most recently that of 44-year-old Mount Austin man Peter Parker who was killed in a two-vehicle collision in February.
