Scott Morrison's security-following vehicle was involved in car accident near Elizabeth Town in Tasmania on Thursday.

The PM was not injured nor involved in the accident, which caused this afternoon's campaign event in Tasmania to be cancelled.

Two Tasmanian Police officers, and two Federal officers from Morrison's security team were taken to hospital after their vehicle - an unmarked police car - flipped on its side.

Reports say all officers involved were conscious when transferred to a northern Tasmania hospital.
