One person was injured after a car and truck collided

One person has been injured in a crash between a car and truck which saw one lane of a state highway in Tauranga shut down.

The incident on State Highway 2 Hewletts Rd just before 3pm yesterday sparked a fire within the car which was extinguished.

Photographs show the bonnet, front window, and driver's seat of the minivan burnt out and parked half on the bus lane of Hewletts Rd.
