A 66-year-old man has been taken to hospital after a car flipped onto its roof at Abermain on Saturday.
The 66-year-old was the sole occupant of the vehicle which left Cessnock Road and struck several parked cars before rolling about 2.30pm, according to a NSW Ambulance spokesperson.
The spokesperson said the driver managed to get out of the car by himself.
He was taken to Maitland Hospital with minor injuries.
