The highway remains closed in both directions about four kilometres south of Boggabri, with emergency services still at the scene.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service was called to the car rollover at about 1pm after initial reports the 37-year-old driver was trapped in the car and suffering serious injuries.
Emergency services worked to free the woman from the wreckage and she was treated at the scene for multiple injuries to her lower limbs.
