Police and the SES are searching for a man who was swept away in floodwaters in northern NSW.
Emergency services responded to reports of a four-wheel drive being washed off a bridge at Wild Cattle Creek Bridge near Old Coramba Road, and into fast-running waters north-east of Dorrigo.
The driver was able to leave the car and grab onto a tree, 30 metres from the river bank.
