Police are again urging motorists not to drive through flooded roads following a dramatic flood rescue near Dungog.

A four-wheel drive with three people inside was crossing a causeway at Bingleburra on Thursday morning when the vehicle got stuck in fast-moving water up to the door handles.

A police officer using a safety line entered the water three times to rescue a 4-year-old boy and two women aged 47 and 51.

They were uninjured and treated for shock.

The senior constable from the Port Stephens Police District is being recommended for a bravery award.
