A van has been torn in two in a crash in Sydney’s west, initially confusing police as no one was at the scene.
The pickup crashed on Kurmond Road, near Meadows Road in Kurmond, a small village 70km west of the city, around 1am on Thursday.
When the police arrived at the scene, the driver had already left.
Approximately two hours later, the 28-year-old male P-plater was found in a wooded area approximately 1.5 km from the crash site.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated him for a broken collarbone and lacerations.
The man was taken to Westmead Hospital in a serious condition, where he will undergo mandatory testing.
