Moruya State Emergency Service volunteers cut another survivor, a woman aged in her early 60s, out of the wreckage of her car and she was taken to Moruya Hospital and then transferred to Canberra Hospital .
Another woman was also transferred to Canberra Hospital by the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Helicopter after the accident which happened about 9.40am at Waldrons Swamp.
An ACT Health spokeswoman confirmed the two women were in a stable condition.
Paramedics, police, SES and Rural Fire Service crews were on the scene at the Princes Highway, about 10km north of Moruya, after the three-vehicle crash.
SES spokesman Peter Collins said the woman cut from her car was the sole occupant of that vehicle.
Police from the Far South Coast Local Area Command are investigating and have established a crime scene at the site of the crash.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
It is the second Princes Highway crash in two days, after two vehicles lodged on the median strip near the Batemans Bay industrial area on Wednesday morning.
The crash also follows an accident involving a car and motorbike in the area last month.
The highway was reopened in both directions as of 6pm.

Southbound traffic was being diverted via Broulee Road.
