A 17-year-old girl is in a critical condition after being trapped in a car following a single-vehicle rollover near Wagga Wagga on Wednesday morning (19 August).
A NSW Ambulance spokesperson said emergency services were called to Gregadoo East Road in Gregadoo at about 9:30 am following reports of the crash.
Paramedics found the teenage girl trapped inside the vehicle and worked to free her before treating her for head and spinal injuries.
She was taken to Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.
The incident came a day after another single-vehicle crash on the Hume Highway at Tumblong.
NSW Ambulance was called to the crash at about 4:15 pm on Tuesday (August 18), after a car struck a highway barrier.
An elderly woman was treated at the scene by paramedics for minor injuries before being transported to Wagga Wagga Base Hospital.
She is in a stable condition.
