Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Peel and Durham streets just before 6am following reports that two cars, a Mitsubishi SUV and a Nissan sedan, had collided.

Officer in Charge of Bathurst, Chief Inspector Glenn Cogdell, said police were called to the scene at 5.50am.

He said initial reports suggest a 71-year-old man from Portland was driving in Peel Street and, as he entered the Peel/Durham intersection, his car collided with a vehicle driven by a 41-year-old Bathurst woman.

"No-one was trapped in the crash, and paramedics attended," he said.

A spokesperson for NSW Ambulance said one road crew attended the crash, receiving the call just before 6am.

"We received calls of a two-car accident and sent a road crew straight to the scene," the spokesperson said.

After assessing both drivers and treating the 71-year-old at the scene, they transported the 71-year-old to Bathurst Base Hospital with minor injuries for further treatment.

Chief Inspector Cogdell said the crash was a timely reminder for drivers to exercise caution, especially in the current frosty, wet weather in the region.

"Please take care on our roads and drive to the conditions - even if it means travelling below the signposted speed," he said.
