The crash, which involved a car and a truck, was reported to emergency services about 9.20am. Ngongotahā Rd was closed for about three hours with traffic at a standstill northbound on Ngongotahā Rd and Fairy Springs Rd.

A rescue helicopter was called to the scene and landed on the road, however the two injured people were taken to Rotorua Hospital by ambulance.
