Investigations are continuing into a horror crash south of Muswellbrook which left two men in hospital and 5 race horses dead.
Police say a truck carrying the horses left the Golden Highway at Jerrys Plains at about 6.30 on Saturday morning and crashed into a tree.
The driver, a 62-year-old man, and a 59-year-old passenger were flown to the John Hunter Hospital by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter in a serious condition with head, chest and leg injuries.
It's understood one of the men was thrown from the cabin of the truck while the other was trapped for a short time before being freed.
It's reported the five race horses were involved in the Magic Millions sale and were being transported from the Gold Coast.
