Police are appealing for information following a fatal crash on State Highway 5 northwest of Rotorua.

One person died in a three-vehicle crash between Tapapa and Maraeroa Rds on Sunday and the highway was closed for several hours.

Police today appealed for dashcam footage that had either witnessed the crash or had driven through the area around 3.15pm.

Two other people were taken to hospital with moderate to serious injuries.
