UPDATED 3.27pm: A car remains blocking one lane of south-bound traffic outside Tauranga Primary School this afternoon after it collided with another car.
Constable Ian Sadler said a woman and her infant child had been on the way to the hospital at the time of the crash.
"Ironically they were going to the hospital," he said.
The pair had been taken to hospital by ambulance after the crash just to "facilitate transport" but neither were injured in the crash, he said.
Her car remained blocking a lane as she had taken her car keys to the hospital with her, Mr Sadler said.
