The 66-year-old was the sole occupant of the vehicle which left Cessnock Road and struck several parked cars before rolling about 2.30pm, according to a NSW Ambulance spokesperson.
The spokesperson said the driver managed to get out of the car by himself.
He was taken to Maitland Hospital with minor injuries.
Cessnock District Rescue Squad helped with the incident.
