A semi-trailer loaded with general goods left the New England Highway at Bell Street near the Muswellbrook Golf Course at about 3.30am and slammed into a tree.
The driver was trapped for around 90 minutes before being released and taken to hospital with a leg injury.
Southbound traffic on the highway is being diverted via Sydney Street, Denman Road and Thomas Mitchell Drive.
