At about 5.10am Thursday, emergency services including a medical helicopter were called to the Hume Highway, near Mirrabooka Road following reports a truck had crashed into a parked B-double.

The male driver of the truck was trapped in the vehicle for a short period of time, before being extricated by emergency services crews.

He remains in a serious condition and was flown to Canberra Hospital.

The male driver of the B-double sustained minor injuries and has been taken to Wagga Base Hospital for treatment.

New South Wales Ambulance Inspector David Vine said the huge amount of damage indicated it was a big impact as the logging truck had its cabin crushed inwards.

"Our arriving crews prioritised assessing the extent of the trapped man's injuries and providing treatment in what was complex and difficult to access position," he said.

"The SES team was great as they worked with our crews to extricate him safely and as quickly as possible."
