Crashes have caused traffic congestion in Tauranga this morning.

A police spokeswoman said they were called to a crash between a car and a motorcycle on Cambridge Rd near State Highway 29 around 8.30am.

One person has serious injuries and one lane was blocked. The Serious Crash Unit has been advised.

UPDATE 8:45AM
This crash now cleared, however delays citybound remain on SH29 (Takatimu Dr Toll Rd). Allow extra time as delays ease or consider using alternative route. ^TPhttps://t.co/UNE4X8Q5Yt
