One person is in a serious condition after a three-vehicle crash on a Hamilton bridge.

The bridge on Cobham Drive was blocked in the accident, which was reported about 1.20pm.

Hato Hone St John sent an ambulance and rapid response unit.

“One patient, in a serious condition, was transported to Waikato Hospital,” St John said.

“Two further patients, both in minor conditions, were assessed and treated at the scene [with] no transport required.”

Police were asking motorists to avoid the area and expect delays.

In an update about 3.30pm, police told the Waikato Herald the bridge was now open.
