EARLIER:
Part of the Great Western Highway has been closed between Bathurst and Lithgow in the latest incident on the troubled road.
Live Traffic is reporting a truck and car collided at Marrangaroo, near Lithgow, before 5pm.
The highway is reported to be closed westbound and motorists travelling in that direction are being sent on the off-ramp to the Castlereagh Highway and then left just past the rest stop to return to the Great Western Highway.
Emergency services and Transport for NSW are on the scene, according to Live Traffic.
This afternoon's problems on the road follow a fatal crash that closed the Great Western Highway in both directions at Blackheath earlier this month.
