Two separate incidents in the past 24 hours in the Coonamble area have required airlifts to John Hunter Hospital.

A police spokesperson says that early on Saturday morning (December 3), a male was airlifted to Newcastle after a severe quad-bike accident on a private property northwest of Coonamble.

Local paramedics and the Helicopter Critical Care Medical Team treated and stabilised the male rider, who had suffered multiple injuries after the quad bike had rolled on him.

He was released from ICU this morning (December 6) and is now stable and recovering, with no further details provided on his injuries.

Also last night (December 5) at 7:50 pm Coonamble paramedics were called to the Castlereagh Highway (Aberford Street) in west Coonamble near the Quambone Road turnoff after a pedestrian sustained serious injuries from a collision with a grain truck.

Police say the man had been walking along the fog line at the edge of the highway and was clipped by the final trailer of the truck.

He was airlifted to John Hunter with two broken legs and is reported to be in a stable condition.

Investigations are still ongoing for the incident on December 5.
