The incident occurred when a vehicle collided with a tree that fell across the roadway as the car approached.
No serious injuries have been reported at this stage, according to police.
TasNetworks say the fallen tree has damaged nearby power infrastructure, resulting in power outages across parts of the east coast.
Around 1,600 properties from Swansea and Dolphin Sands to Orford were initially affected, with the outage now reduced to approximately 279 properties around Little Swanport.
