Two women remain in a critical condition in the John Hunter hospital following a two-vehicle smash at Stroud yesterday afternoon.
Two Toyotas, a sedan and SUV, collided on The Buckets Way with three people injured; the female driver of one car, the 74-year-old male driver of the other and his female passenger.
The women, aged in their 60s were airlifted by the Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter to Newcastle, while the male driver of the SUV was taken there via ambulance in a stable condition.
It's unknown how their recovery is tracking.
