Forty-five-year-old Wayne Bull was attempting to get out of his car when it was swamped by flood waters at Lambton, a suburb of Newcastle, on Friday night and he was swept into storm water drain. His body was found this afternoon in Styx Creek at Hamilton North, several kilometres from where he disappeared. His body is being taken to the Newcastle morgue.
Today police also located the body of a woman and a man on the NSW Central Coast. They were in a car with three children that fell into a crevasse that opened up on the Old Pacific Highway at Somersby. All five have now been found.
Last night, a 29-year-old Heddon Greta man was killed when a tree crushed his utility, near Brunkerville, in the Lower Hunter.
Two people died on Friday when their car was swept off a bridge at Clarence Town in the Hunter Valley.
