The 30-year-old man sustained a serious leg injury and was airlifted to Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition.
NSW Ambulance duty operations manager Inspector Chris Lahene said being called to any road crash was always challenging especially when paramedics needed to treat multiple patients.

"Please take extra care when you get behind the wheel of any vehicle.'
"This had the potential to be fatal."
