A 48-year-old woman was trapped in her vehicle and sustained chest and abdominal injuries as the result of a three-car crash on Woy Woy Rd at Horsfield Bay on Thursday, January 14.

CareFlight's rapid response helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance at 5:30pm and landed 15 minutes later in a clearing on Woy Woy Rd.

CareFlight's specialist doctor and NSW Ambulance critical care paramedic worked in with emergency services personnel from Fire and Rescue NSW to extricate the woman who was trapped in her vehicle for 45 minutes, while the road was closed in both directions.

The clinical team undertook spinal precautions while they performed a clinical assessment of the woman.

She was airlifted in a stable condition to Royal North Shore Hospital.
