BY IAN CROUCH

Two people remain in a critical condition after a head-on smash at Williamtown.

A red Toyota Echo and a white Holden Statesman were involved in a head-on crash on Cabbage Tree Road just after 1.30pm on Wednesday, trapping three people in the cars.

The Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew a 62-year-old woman to the John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition with multiple injuries.

A 54-year-old man was trapped in his car for 90 minutes before being freed and taken to the John Hunter in a critical condition.

A second man aged 54 is in a stable condition.

Cabbage Tree Road was re-opened at about 6.40pm.
