Cars collided in separate incidents on the wet road heading north towards Collector and south towards Canberra late on Sunday morning.
A spokeswoman for NSW police said traffic had been affected in both directions, but motorists were still able to pass.
Ambulances attended the southbound accident where two women were reported to be in shock, the spokeswoman said.
Sunday's temperature peaked at 7.7 degrees at 11.30am on Sunday, but apparent were temperatures lower after the passing of a cold front.
A low pressure system will linger offshore for the next few days, with a hazardous surf warning for the NSW South Coast.
The Bureau of Meteorology also predicted a very high chance of rain on Sunday, with light winds of 15km/h to 20km/h becoming west to south-westerly early in the afternoon, then becoming lighter in the late evening.
