Officers were called shortly before 1pm today and have since closed the road.
The road may be closed for some time whilst investigations are conducted, a police spokesman said.
Congestion is to be expected in the area and road users are advised to plan their routes accordingly.
A spokesman for the Great North Air Ambulance Service said: “We are currently in attendance in Carlisle city centre after a road traffic collision.”
The air ambulance was seen landing on the grass outside Carlisle Castle. One female patient was airlifted to hospital.
