BREAKING! Four People Injured In Car and Truck Smash At Bar Point

 BY IAN CROUCH

Four people have been injured in a serious crash at Bar Point on the Central Coast.

A car travelling in the southbound lanes of the M1 Pacific Motorway crashed into a rock wall just before 3.00am on Friday.

A truck loaded with laundry then collided with the car before coming to a stop about 400 metres down the road.

Three people in the car sustained head, leg and arm injuries.

It's understood the person with a head injury is being taken to hospital after suffering a seizure.

The truck driver suffered leg injuries.

Two of three southbound lanes were closed for almost two hours while a salvage operation continued to recover the car and the truck.

All southbound lanes of the motorway re-opened just before 5.00am.
