A toilet block fire and a two-vehicle crash were among callouts that kept emergency services busy overnight in the Bay of Plenty.

A police spokeswoman said one person was taken to Tauranga Hospital to be checked over following a two-vehicle crash at 9.50pm on Sunday.

It was at the intersection of 21st Ave and Cameron Rd in Gate Pā.
