A serious two-vehicle collision on the Huon Highway at Lower Longley caused major disruption after emergency services responded to the crash earlier today.
Police and other emergency crews were called to the scene after two vehicles collided on the highway. At least one person sustained serious injuries and was treated by emergency personnel at the scene.
The severity of the crash prompted authorities to close the Huon Highway in both directions while emergency crews assisted those involved and investigators examined the circumstances of the collision.
The road closure resulted in significant traffic delays across the area. Southbound motorists were diverted through Sandfly Road and Huon Road, while northbound traffic was redirected at Dip Road. Additional traffic was routed through Pelverata Road, including an unsealed section of the alternative route.
Drivers were advised to avoid the area while emergency operations continued, with authorities warning that delays could remain for several hours.
The highway has since reopened to traffic following the completion of the initial emergency response and scene operations. However, investigators continue to examine what caused the two vehicles to collide.
No further details about the identity of the injured person, the other people involved, or the circumstances leading up to the crash have been confirmed in the information available.
The investigation remains ongoing, and further information may be released by authorities as inquiries continue.
