The single-vehicle collision happened after the Kingsway off-ramp, when travelling in a westerly direction.
ER24 spokesperson Liam Hardy said the vehicle rolled and the male police member was found outside the vehicle when paramedics arrived.
Hardy said the west-bound section of the highway was closed for a helicopter to land.
The man was flown to the Milpark Hospital.
The highway has since been reopened.
