"Upon arrival, one vehicle had hit a tree on the driver's side," NSW Ambulance inspector Markus Zarins said.

Police were told the white ute was travelling north on Buckingbong Road when it left the bitumen and crashed into the tree, a spokesperson confirmed.

The woman, believed to be aged 22, was the only person in the car at the time of the crash and bore the brunt of the impact.

She was trapped in the wreck for a little over an hour and was conscious and talking to paramedics while treated at the scene before being taken to meet a rescue helicopter in Narrandera.

"She [has a suspected] right shoulder fracture, possibly fractured right ribs and a broken right leg," Mr Zarins said.

The patient was taken to Narrandera and flown from the town's oval to Canberra Hospital in a stable condition.

Inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash are continuing.
