Woman Seriously Injured In M1 Motorway Crash

BY IAN CROUCH

 Traffic is getting back to normal on the M1 Pacific Motorway after an accident at Halloran.

Emergency services were called to the northbound lanes about 2 kilometres north of Sparks Road just after 7.30 where a car had left the freeway and slammed into a tree.

Northbound traffic was brought to a standstill while the Hunter's Westpac Rescue helicopter landed on the roadway.

The 58-year-old female driver of the car was trapped for about half an hour before being released.

She's been flown to the John Hunter Hospital in a serious condition with multiple injuries.
