Paramedics and other emergency services personnel rushed to Beelbangera Road at Beelbangera - just northeast of Griffith, following reports of a single-vehicle crash on Saturday.

"Initial reports indicated a person had been ejected from the vehicle [and] further reports indicated the person was located under the back tray of a ute," Inspector Zarins said.
