The three people – two women and a man – are in a stable condition.

Bungendore Rural Fire Service confirmed it was a head-on collision. Firefighters worked for more than an hour to free the three trapped in the smashed vehicles – a white ute and a blue Land Cruiser. The rescue helicopter was called to the scene, but was not needed to transport anyone.

Traffic was turned away at Matthews Lane and the Gibraltar Street/Bungendore Road roundabout, until the roads reopened at 8.45pm.
