One in critical condition after car hits tree

One person has been taken to hospital in a critical condition after a car crashed into a tree near a Tuggeranong Parkway off-ramp.

An Emergency Services Agency spokeswoman said paramedics had taken a male patient to Canberra Hospital after being called to the crash at 11.09am on Monday.

A photo from the scene, at the Tuggeranong Parkway southbound off-ramp onto Hindmarsh Drive, shows a damaged white car on its side.

An ACT Policing spokesman said the car had hit a tree.

He said there were diversions in place; the off-ramp was closed while emergency services worked at the scene.
