Emergency services, including ambulance and police teams, were called to Forest Road, near the notorious Vittlefields Cross, following reports of a collision.
The incident, which blocked the main road for a time, involved a silver Mercedes.
It is understood that a second vehicle, a Skoda, may have also been involved.
The Mercedes was recovered from the roadside shortly before 3pm by a team from Bartletts Service Station.
