Two ambulances attended a fatal medical event which closed a main highway in Tauranga last night.

A St John's media spokeswoman said it was alerted to the incident, in which one person died on Turret Road (State Highway 2A), by police.

In a written statement, police said emergency services were called to the incident at 5.30pm.

A road closure was in place from Hairini Bridge to the intersection of 15th Ave and Burrows St.

Motorists were asked to delay travel or choose alternate routes.
