A police spokeswoman said emergency services were notified of the crash on Essex St (State Highway 1), near the intersection with Yarmouth St about 5.15pm.
It appeared one vehicle had hit a parked vehicle, the spokeswoman said.
A police spokesman at scene said it was "a serious crash with serious injuries".
A witness said it looked as though a maroon ute had crashed into a blue SUV, from which firefighters were removing the roof.
A helicopter was called to transport an injured woman, the witness said.
