Emergency services have been kept busy this morning attending to four crashes within just over an hour.

The latest crash happened outside New World on Bellevue Rd at 8.40am.

A police media communications spokesman said a cyclist and car collided outside the entrance of the supermarket.

Earlier, police were called to a crash involving a truck and a car at the intersection of Soldiers Rd and State Highway 29 at 8.25am.

There were no reports of any injuries and the crash was not blocking traffic, the spokesman said. "There is a bit of debris on the road and the car will need to be towed," he said.
