Police say the Mountain Road will be shut until around 11pm.
What's being described as "a serious crash" on the route just before 5pm meant officers closed it while they dealt with the incident.
It's currently closed between the Creg ny Baa Back Road and Brandywell.
An emergency road closure order says it'll be closed until 11pm, or until the scene has been cleared.
