Two cows have died and another was injured following a crash involving a ute and livestock near Wairoa.

The crash happened on Saturday at about 8pm along Lake Rd (SH38) in Frasertown.

"A ute has hit a group of cattle on the road," a police spokesperson said.

"No injuries to [the] driver, but there's reports of two dead cattle and a third being injured."

Police did not say if the incident was being investigated any further, or how the cattle came to be on the road at that time of night.
