Two people have been airlifted to hospital after their 4 wheel drive rolled down a steep gully on a private property in the Upper Hunter.
Emergency services took a fragmented triple zero call at about 7.30 last night to a property off Bowmans Gully Road at Upper Rouchel saying a vehicle had rolled and the driver had been ejected.
However, police and ambulance crews were unable to locate the vehicle and the Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called in - they found crash site at about 9pm and a 4 wheel drive ambulance was sent to the scene.
A 54-year-old man from Dungog was found with chest injuries and his 27-year-old male passenger suffered minor injuries - they were flown to the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
Police say the pair were out feeding cattle when the crash occurred.
