A truck driver has been taken to hospital overnight in a serious condition after a bad crash north of Muswellbrook.
A B-double and a semi-trailer collided on the New England Highway at Sandy Creek Road just after 12.30 this morning.
One of the drivers was trapped for some time before being released and taken to the John Hunter Hospital.
The other truck driver was also injured.
The Highway is closed with diversions in place, while the rail line is also closed after the B-Double ended up on the tracks.
