A woman was flown to hospital after her vehicle rolled on the Laggan to Taralga Road on Friday, August 12, just after 9pm.
RFS Southern Tablelands operations officer, Mitchell Butler, said crews were called to the scene following reports a car had overturned and a person was trapped.
Police, ambulance and Fire and Rescue NSW attended.
Police said the woman was driving her Mazda BT50 east along Laggan Road, Laggan when she swerved to avoid a kangaroo. She lost control of the vehicle, which crossed onto the other side of the road before hitting an embankment and coming to rest upside down in a ditch.
Mr Butler said the woman advised RFS crews that she was not injured but couldn't free herself from the vehicle.
