Emergency Services crews were called to the scene of a crash involving a truck between Raurimu Rd and Manson Siding near National Park.

Crews were notified around 9.25am.

A police spokeswoman confirmed the road had become blocked due to the crash.

A St Johns spokeswoman confirmed they sent one ambulance and a rescue helicopter that transported a person to Waikato Hospital in a serious condition.

Emergency crews also received a report around 9.10am of a car colliding with a barrier at the intersection of State Highways 48 and 47 at Tongariro Forest Park.

The road is still closed from Whanganui through to Tohunga Junction so the truck and trailer could be removed.
