WADALBA
A driver has been transported to hospital following a single vehicle accident along Johns Rd at Wadalba last night. Rescue crews and emergency services were called to the location just after 11:30pm last night, to find the vehicle had left the roadway and collided with a tree.
The driver of the vehicle was trapped for a short while before rescue crews were able to extricate the patient with assistance from Fire and Rescue NSW, Warnervale Rural Fire Brigade, and NSW Ambulance paramedics.
They were then transported to the John Hunter hospital in stable condition.
