Two people have been injured after a crash between a car and a truck on Te Puke Highway.

A police spokesman said the crash, between Manoeka Rd and Poplar Ln, was at 6.15am.

While police initially said one person was in a serious condition, a St John spokesman said one person with moderate injuries and one with minor injuries were taken to Tauranga Hospital by ambulance.

The road is down to one lane and people are advised to avoid the area if possible.

The Serious Crash Unit will be examining the scene.
