Two men were taken to hospital on Tuesday 2 December after a utility rolled just north of Burren Junction.

The NSW Police Media Unit said that a Toyota LandCruiser was approaching the Kamilaroi Highway on Merrywinebone Road when it reportedly swerved to avoid a kangaroo and lost control.

Â
He was taken by road to Wee Waa, where the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service say he was stabilised and airlifted to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle.

A second man in his twenties was taken to hospital in Narrabri for head injuries and abrasions to his arms and legs.
