Emergency services attended a crash on State Highway 2, near Kotemaori in the Wairoa district, about 4.50am on Saturday.

The police spokesperson said two cars were involved and there were no injuries.

“There was some blockage on the Kotemaori bound lane but it was cleared shortly after,” the spokesperson said.

Emergency services attended a two-vehicle crash at the Riverslea Rd North and St Aubyn St intersection, Hastings about 9.50am on Saturday.

The St John spokeswoman said they were not required.
