Waikato police Senior Sergeant Tina Shaw said she was unsure how seriously injured those involved were, but they were out of the car. One had suffered a broken arm.

An ambulance was called to the scene.

Shaw said while the crash itself wasn't overly serious, the road was busy and she asked people to avoid the area or be patient.
