A car and a bus have collided on Hewletts Road in Mount Maunganui.

A police media spokesman said police were called to the scene near Aerodrome Rd about 12.05pm.

He said a car was on top of a power transformer and was wedged against a large sign.

A photographer at the scene said a Bay Hopper bus was stationary on one side of the road outside Plumbing World on Hewletts Rd.
