A man injured in a motorbike and car collision on Hunter Street this morning has been taken to the John Hunter Hospital.
Around 8:50am, a car turning right off Hunter Street into Steel Street near KFC collided with the male rider travelling in the opposite direction.
NSW Ambulance says the man, aged in his 60s, was treated at the scene for a leg injury and was conveyed via road to hospital shortly after in a stable condition.
They say the driver of the Toyota SUV involved managed to escape without harm.
