A person has been flown to hospital after a crash involving a truck and a car in Roxburgh.

Police said they responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Scotland St (State Highway 8) and Jedburgh St about 12:40pm today. 

A reporter at the scene said it appeared the car had been T-boned by the truck, and shunted into what looked to be a private residence.
