Paramedics treated a woman and a teenage girl on the roadside before transporting them both to Wollongong Hospital.
The injured woman was travelling south in a white Mercedes-Benz C63 about 6.30pm when she came unstuck and collided with another car, before coming to rest in the northbound lane.
She departed the crash site in a neck brace and with a broken leg. Her passenger was uninjured.
The driver of a gold Mazda3, a 17-year-old Coledale girl who only obtained her provisional licence several days ago, appeared highly distressed.
Her arm was in a sling and her hand bleeding when she was loaded into an ambulance. Her male passenger is believed to have hit his head on impact but was not seriously injured.
The driver of the third car, a silver Honda CRV-Sport, was a man believed to be aged in his 50s. He escaped the accident uninjured, as did the two dogs he was travelling with at the time of the crash.
The man has departed the scene with a support person. He told the Mercury he was too shaken to speak.
Traffic was diverted onto George and Lachlan streets.
A large amount of fuel and debris had to be cleared from the roadway.
