On Friday morning a man aged in his 80s was airlifted to hospital after a single motor vehicle accident caused his vehicle to flip over and land on its roof, trapping him inside.

The Mounties Care CareFlight Helicopter was tasked by NSW Ambulance shortly after midday and landed on the scene in Tennyson.

NSW SES and Windsor Police were also on scene.

NSW Ambulance paramedics worked alongside CareFlight’s medical team to treat the patient.

CareFlight’s specialist doctor and NSW Ambulance critical care paramedics performed a clinical assessment, including ultrasound, before he was freed from the vehicle.

He was then airlifted to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition.
