BY MADELAINE MCNEILL

A woman has been flown to hospital with multiple injuries following a single vehicle crash south of Wingen in the Upper Hunter.

The 26-year-old's car crashed into a rock wall while travelling on the New England Highway north of Scone around 11 o'clock Wednesday morning.

The New England Highway was closed for some time to allow the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to land on the highway nearby.

She was treated on scene by Ambulance Paramedics before being flown to the John Hunter Hospital with head and chest injuries.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service reports the woman is in a serious but stable condition.
