The 36 year old man lost control of his vehicle in the wet, left the roadway and struck a tree.

He was conveyed to Harden hospital with broken teeth, soreness to ribs and cuts and abrasions.

This follows an incident on Sunday where a driver had a lucky break after they were involved in a motor vehicle accident near Jugiong.

The car was travelling south on the Harden road and failed to negotiate a left hand bend and slid down a culvert with the vehicle ending up on its roof. 

Detective Inspector Paul Huxtable from the Cootamundra Local Area Command, said that the driver was lucky to escape injury.
