Te Puke Highway has reopened after a crash injured two people this morning.

A police spokeswoman said police were called to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Bell Rd and Te Puke Highway about 10.40am.

A St John spokesman said two ambulances, one rapid response vehicle and one helicopter were sent to the scene.

"Two patients have been transported to Tauranga Hospital by ambulance. One has serious injuries and one has moderate injuries," he said.

Te Puke Highway was closed between Welcome Bay and Bell Rd and reopened around 1pm.
