Police have released more information about a fatal early-morning crash at Congupna last week.

The person who died in the two-vehicle collision on Wednesday, August 21 was a 72-year-old Tallygaroopna man, police said.

The crash happened on the Goulburn Valley Hwy about 6.30am.

The other driver, a 45-year-old Numurkah man, was taken to Goulburn Valley Health in a stable condition.

The crash happened on a straight stretch of the road, with both vehicles travelling south, according to police.
