A critical incident investigation has been launched after a woman was injured in a single-vehicle crash on the state's Mid North Coast.
About 10am today (Tuesday 1 October 2019), police were called to a home on Edinburgh Drive, Taree, after reports of a domestic-related incident.
Officers attached to Manning-Great Lakes Police District arrived at the home before a vehicle drove away. Moments later, the vehicle has hit a fence.
Police rendered assistance to the female driver – and sole occupant of the vehicle – before paramedics arrived; she was then flown to John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition.
A Critical Incident Investigation Team from Mid North Coast Police District will now investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The investigation will be subject to independent review.
No further details are available at this time.
