BY IAN CROUCH

A man in his 20's is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after a heavy impact crash at Heatherbrae.

Police, Fire, Ambulance and SES crews were called to Camfield Drive just before 8.00pm on Wednesday to find the man's car had slammed into a parked low-loader truck.

The man was trapped for about 45 minutes while rescue crews worked to cut him free, with paramedics monitoring his condition - he was also inturbated at the scene prior to being freed from the wreckage.

He was taken to the John Hunter Hospital with serious head injuries.
