An 84-year-old man was taken to Tauranga Hospital following a crash that blocked the Papamoa section of State Highway 2 last night.
Initial reports were that three people were injured.
A Mount Maunganui St John spokesman said they only transported the elderly man with moderate injuries to his neck as a precautionary measure.
The man had been travelling in a car when it collided with another about 7.30pm.
The crash happened between Bell Rd and Poplar Lane and blocked the area off to traffic for about 30 minutes. By 8pm the road was re-opened to one lane as emergency services worked to clean the area of spilt fuel.
