A person has serious injuries after two buses collided at a roundabout in Auckland.

Police said they were alerted to the crash in Westmere at the intersection of Garnet Rd and Meola Rd at 4.05pm.

Hato Hone St John told the Herald two ambulances and a rapid response unit were sent.

One person in a serious condition was taken to Auckland City Hospital, while another with minor injuries was treated at the scene.

Auckland Transport group manager of transport operations Rachel Cara told the Herald they were “saddened” to hear about the incident, which involved an OuterLink bus, and their thoughts were with the injured passengers.

“AT will be working closely with NZ Police, other emergency services, and the bus operators to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident.”
