Seven-car crash forces closure of busy Tauranga bridge

A crash involving seven cars near the Maungatapu roundabout on State Highway 29a has shut down a busy Tauranga road this afternoon.

A separate crash on SH2 has also shut down that highway.

Motorists are asked to avoid the area if possible.

No one was injured, despite the number of cars involved, she said.

It is understood a truck is on its side on the bridge, but the spokeswoman could not confirm this.
