Investigations are continuing into a serious crash at Heddon Greta last night which has left two people in hospital.

Police say an 18-year-old female P-plate driver was travelling east along Main Road just after 6.00pm in a White Nissan Navara Twin Cab ute when she crashed into the back of a stationary White Toyota Corolla.

A 62-year-old man driving the Corolla and a 15-year-old female front seat passenger were trapped for about an hour before being freed by the Cessnock Volunteer Rescue Association and taken to hospital with cuts and suspected spinal injuries.
