A man is in a critical condition in a Sydney hospital after becoming wedged between his car and a brick wall.
The 50-year-old had been reversing from a driveway at a unit block on Shadforth Street, Wiley Park when he got stuck on Thursday morning.
CareFlight director Ian Badham told AAP a passerby rushed to the man's aid and pushed the car back about half a metre to relieve the pressure until emergency services arrived.
A doctor performed emergency surgery while NSW Fire and Rescue worked for 40 minutes to free the man, Mr Badham added.
He was taken to Liverpool Hospital with severe head and chest injuries and fractures.
A hospital spokesman said on Thursday night he was in a critical but stable condition.
Witness Moshi Ali told Network 10 he saw the incident unfold.
"I just heard a big bang then I looked from my balcony and I saw this guy trapped," he said.
