They took place on the south-bound carriageway, one at the Boulevard, Banbridge and the other near Camlough Road, Newry.
Motorists were warned of lane closures and traffic delays as police and Northern Ireland Ambulance Service attended the scenes.
In an update, a PSNI spokesperson confirmed that a woman was taken to hospital for treatment following one of the collisions. Her injuries are not believed to be serious.
In the other incident, no serious injuries have been reported.
Police said the affected lanes have since reopened.
