A female driver and two males suffered shock and neck injuries, they were treated at the scene by four NSW Ambulance crews.
All three people were taken to Port Macquarie Base Hospital in stable condition.
Motorists Nathan and Tara were travelling on the highway and became trapped in their car during the accident.
They said there was no visibility because of smoke from nearby bush fire and the road should not have been open.
"(It) sounded and felt like an explosion, sending us off the road completely and into a barrier fence," they said.
"We were trapped, stuck and sore and had to be cut out of the car by State Emergency Services.
"We would have been in the car for an hour before being freed. Can't thank SES enough. they were comforting and really supportive through it all."
