A 55-year-old man has died in the latest fatal incident on the M1 Pacific Motorway south of the Hunter.
Emergency crews were called to the scene of the single vehicle crash at Mount White, on the Central Coast, just after 6pm on Sunday.
Police said the vehicle had left the road and hit a wall.
Paramedics treated the man, but he died at the scene.
It was the 10th road death on the strip of motorway between Sydney and the Hunter Region since the start of August, 2017.
The Newcastle Herald reported last month Transport for NSW figures showed that 29 people had died and 470 had been hospitalised after crashes on the M1 between Wahroonga and Beresfield since 2008.
