Cars were still backed up to the Tuggeranong Parkway turn off from the intersection just before 7pm.

Two people were assessed by paramedics at the scene, and one was transported to hospital for treatment.

It is understood that their injuries were not life threatening.

It was the second traffic incident on Tuesday, after a cement truck tipped in at a roundabout in Campbell causing road closures throughout the day.
