Eight injured in two-car crash on Barton Highway

Eight people were injured in a two-car crash on the Barton Highway on Saturday afternoon.

A female passenger was taken to Canberra Hospital with leg injuries in a serious but stable condition, with five others taken to hospital in a stable condition.

Northbound was partly closed while emergency serviced cleared the scene of the crash, which happened just after 4pm at the intersection of the Barton Highway and McIntosh Circuit near Murrumbateman.

A witness said he saw a Holden Commodore turn from McIntosh Circuit onto the Barton Highway before crashing into a Hyundai Accent.

The witness said the Hyundai became airborne in the crash.

NSW Ambulance inspector Ben Hutchinson said the ages of those involved ranged from 16 to 45.

"One of the drivers was on their green P-plates, while the other was a 19-year-old on an unrestricted licence," Mr Hutchinson said.

"Only two of the patients were significantly injured."

The remaining two people in the crash who weren't taken to hospital did not require treatment at the scene.
