Firefighters freed the woman in her late teens from the car after it flipped on its side.

Paramedics treated her at the scene for abdominal and multiple lower limb injuries. She was taken to hospital.

The single-vehicle crash occurred on the Monaro Highway between Isabella and Johnson drives at Tuggeranong.

ACT Policing remained on scene to investigate the cause of the crash.

The community was asked to avoid the area.
