Rotorua motorists are being urged to drive to the conditions as heavy rain causes slippery roads across the city.
Forecasted downpours arrived in the Rotorua area late yesterday morning. Around the same time, emergency services were called to two minor crashes near the city.
The first was about 10.45am, near
the intersection of State Highway 5 south of Rotorua, where a motorbike and a car collided.
No one was injured but one lane was closed to through traffic while emergency services staff cleared the scene.
Half an hour later, two cars collided at the Ngongotaha roundabout, north of Rotorua.
