One rescued, two transported to hospital following crash in Cook

A man has been rescued from a vehicle in cook overnight following a two car crash.

ACT Emergency Services responded to Redfern Street at about 9.15pm following reports of a crash with persons trapped.

Firefighters used hydraulic tools to remove the door from the vehicle and gain access to the patient.

An ACT Emergency Services Agency spokesperson said a man in his 50's, a man in his 30's and a man in his 20's were assessed by ACT Ambulance Service paramedics and two persons were transported to hospital in a stable condition.

Redfern street was blocked in both directions for about an hour until the area was made safe.

ACT Policing were also in attendance and are investigating the cause of the crash.
