Police are investigating a serious accident, which resulted in two truck drivers being injured, in the Upper Hunter on Friday afternoon.
Emergency services responded to reports about 3.35pm on 5 December of a couple of heavy vehicles crashing in the eastbound lanes of the New England Highway at Belford, approximately 15km south of Singleton.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the male drivers of each vehicle, aged 25 and 71, at the scene.
They were then both taken to John Hunter Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Officers from the Hunter Valley Police District established a crime scene that was later examined by the Crash Investigation Unit.
A 76-year-old female driver of a Ford Ranger, towing a caravan, was also escorted to Cessnock Hospital for mandatory testing.
It’s understood she wasn’t injured and the Ford was not directly involved in the incident.
As investigations continue, police are urging anyone with information about the crash – or has any available dashcam/mobile phone footage – to contact Singleton Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
