One crew member was winched down, balancing on top of the cabin as the driver clung on.
He attached the harness and both were brought to safety.
The rescue happened yesterday afternoon on the South Australian border.
Roads have been closed across almost half of NSW, although for many it’s not a curse but a blessing.
Orroroo Mayor Grant Chapman said the rain was “magic”, with more than two thirds of the annual rain falling.
