A 66-year-old man is in hospital with serious chest injuries after he became trapped in his car when it collided with another vehicle on Thursday.
Paramedics were called to the Pacific Highway at Rainbow Flat, just south of the Lakes Way, about 9.30am to reports that a man was trapped in his vehicle.
The incident forced the closure of one of two northbound lanes, which has now been reopened.
The 66-year-old was treated for serious chest injuries at the scene, before being transported by road to Taree Airport where he was met by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter’s Critical Care Team.
He was then airlifted to Port Macquarie Base Hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
The occupants of the second vehicle were transported to the Manning Base Hospital for observation.
A NSW Police spokeswoman and NSW Ambulance spokesman have been contacted for comment regarding the incident.
