A small truck and a tractor towing a trailer have flipped after a crash in Aongatete between Tauranga and Katikati.

A police spokeswoman said emergency services were called to the scene on Wright Rd about 7.50am.

The crash caused both the truck and tractor/trailer to flip blocking both lanes, she said. Two people were treated for minor injuries by ambulance staff and weren't needed to be taken to hospital.
