A driver has escaped with minor injuries after a tree fell on their car on Morshead Drive in Campbell on Friday afternoon.
The tree fell due to the rain Canberra has received in recent days, causing soil to soften, on the eastbound lane to Fyshwick.
Only one vehicle and person was involved in the accident. They were treated by ambulance at the scene for minor injuries.
Police have closed both lanes between the Russell Drive and Duntroon turn-offs and have asked people to avoid the area.
