Emergency services were called to the intersection of Cessnock Road and Kemp Street, Neath, about 6.25pm following reports of an accident.
At the scene, police received information three vehicles – a red Nissan utility, a silver Ford ute and a Triumph motorcycle – had collided.
The bike rider, a 50-year-old woman, was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for serious leg injuries before being taken to John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition.
