A teenage motorcyclist has been airlifted to hospital after a two vehicle collision at Tongarra south of Wollongong.
Emergency services were called to the Illawarra Highway near the Green Valley Bike Park after a KTM motorcycle and a utility towing a camper trailer collided at about 4.30 pm.
NSW Police said the 16-year-old male motorcycle rider sustained serious injuries and was treated by NSW Ambulance Paramedics before he was airlifted to St George Hospital in a critical condition.
The 52-year-old male driver of the utility was uninjured and was taken to hospital for mandatory testing.
The accident closed the Illawarra Highway in both directions for over an hour.
