The crash, at the intersection of Launceston Street and Hindmarsh Drive, affected traffic on both streets. A 67-year-old woman was taken to the Canberra Hospital with neck injuries.

The accident followed two separate car crashes on the Tuggeranong Parkway, the first a two-vehicle collision near Lady Denman Drive shortly before 8am. The second was 500 metres south of the National Zoo and Aquarium.

One person was taken to hospital with a minor wrist injury after a two-car collision outside the Evatt Primary School on Heydon Crescent about 8.30am.
