About 2.20pm today (Thursday 18 June 2020), officers from Port Stephens-Hunter Traffic and Highway Patrol were patrolling the New England Highway near Telarah when they noticed a Holden Commodore allegedly travelling in excess of the sign-posted speed limit and attempted to stop it on Brooks Street.

The Holden failed to stop, and a pursuit was initiated before it allegedly lost control at the intersection of Raymond Street and crashed through two fences and into a nearby house.

The male driver and a female passenger were trapped inside the vehicle before being freed by emergency services. A second passenger fled the scene on foot.

They were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before the woman was airlifted to John Hunter Hospital, while the man was taken to the same hospital by road ambulance; both of their conditions are unknown at this stage.

Two people and an infant were inside the home at the time; no one was injured.

A crime scene has been established and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident has been launched.
