A petrol tanker was involved in one of three crashes in the same spot in Tauranga today.
The three nose-to-tail crashes all happened on State Highway 29A, between Maungatapu roundabout and Baypark at Te Maunga about 9.30am.
The vehicles involved are now parked to the side of the highway, near the Maungatapu off-ramp.
One of the cars, which had been towing a trailer of timber, had significant damage to its rear.
A long line of traffic is now stopped on the side of the highway, including the vehicles and tanker involved.
