Mr Hills also responded to both crashes which were on the Waikato side of the Kaimai Range and described them both as "minor."
Mr Hills said a woman, who was Waikato bound, lost control and was involved in a minor collision with an oncoming truck.
Soon after, another vehicle travelling towards Tauranga also lost control due to wet weather conditions.
Mr Hills said no one was injured in both incidents.
He said people were driving too fast for the conditions.
"Driving too fast doesn't mean driving to the speed limit," he said.
"In wet weather conditions people need to slow down and take care on wet roads."
Te Puke St John station manager Simon Campbell said ambulances from his station also attended two crashes.
The first was a single vehicle crash at 11.21am at Arawa Ave, Maketu. Four people were treated for minor injuries, none were transported to hospital.
The car was down a bank, Mr Campbell said.
The second crash was a car that rolled on State Highway 2 south of Te Puke at 12.25pm. One person was taken to Tauranga Hospital with minor injuries.
