A crash has closed a road in eastern Canberra in an incident that has resulted in several people having to be pulled from their vehicles and taken to hospital.

The two-vehicle crash occurred on Majura Road before 11 am on Tuesday morning (17 December).

Emergency services were called to the scene and ACT Fire & Rescue had to extract several people from both of the vehicles, an ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA) spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said three people had to be taken to hospital. Two were in a stable condition, while one was in a serious condition.

Emergency services were still on the scene working to clear the road at midday and the ESA spokesperson expected Majura Road would be closed for some time.

The road is closed in both directions south of the intersection with Tambreet Street.

“The community is asked to avoid the area and use an alternative route,” the ESA said on social media.
