A man has been rescued from a flooded causeway at Jerrys Plains in the Upper Hunter .
Police, SES and Fire and Rescue crews were called to the causeway on Edderton Road just after midnight on Thursday to find the 26-year-old man from Aberdeen perched on the bonnet of his 4 week drive, with fast-flowing floodwater up to the windows of the vehicle.
He was thrown a life jacket and pulled to safety.
The man told Police he'd only just driven across the causeway without any difficulty, before returning 10 minutes later and getting stuck.
The 4-wheel-drive is still in the flooded causeway and will be retrieved once the water level subsides.
