The occupants of a Ute are lucky to be alive following a crash in Belconnen overnight.

Just before 9pm ACT Emergency Services responded to Belconnen Way between Benjamin Way and Lathlain Street.

Police said a red Toyota Hilux with two occupants had left the road mounted the centre median strip where it then collided with a number of large trees and eventually came to rest in lane two (westbound) on Belconnen Way.

An ACT Emergency Services Agency spokesperson said one person had to be rescued from the vehicle with hydraulic tools.

The two occupants of the vehicle were assessed by ACT Ambulance Service paramedics and were transported to hospital in a stable condition.

ACT Policing were in attendance and are investigating.
