A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner into the deaths of two men north of Newcastle overnight.

It was about 9.30pm (Sunday 3 July 2016), that emergency services were called to Masonite Road, near the intersection of Cabbage Tree Road, at Tomago, responding to reports of a crash.

They found a 2015-model Ford Ranger 4WD utility had left the road, rolled onto its side and slid 85m before hitting a power pole; the pole snapped on impact.

Two men travelling in the utility died at the scene.

The men have yet to be formally identified; however, police are waiting to confirm they are aged 28 and 25, and from the local area.

Masonite Road was closed for seven hours while investigations were conducted.
