Emergency services rushed to to Mount Darragh Road at 2.45pm after reports of a Ford Fairlane and a Toyota Corolla colliding.
The vehicles were travelling in opposite directions when the crash occurred.
A 23-year-old man, who had been behind the wheel of the Ford, was trapped in his vehicle when police and paramedics arrived.
Once freed, he and the 70-year-old female passenger of the Corolla were airlifted to Canberra Hospital in a critical condition.
The young man suffered serious head, chest and internal injuries, as well as a suspected fractured leg, while the elderly woman sustained suspected internal injuries in the crash. Both were treated by paramedics at the scene before being flown out.
