A carload of people had a miraculous escape from injury after a spectacular crash at Wyee early Friday morning.
Newcastle Fire Command says the sedan was heading from Sydney to Brisbane on the M1 at about 3.00am when the vehicle hit a tyre, became airborne and flipped onto it's roof.
Police say the 5 people on board managed to escape uninjured.
The northbound lanes of the freeway were closed for a short time to allow the car to be recovered and towed away.
Meanwhile, a motorcyclist has been taken to hospital after a crash at Teralba overnight.
Police say the motorbike collided with a car at the intersection of York and Short Streets at about 8.45pm.
The rider, a man in his 40's, was taken to the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition with pelvic injuries.
Investigations are continuing.
