Police attended two crashes involving three trucks in the Taihape area on Wednesday morning.

Two crashes involving trucks temporarily closed roads in the Taihape area on Wednesday.

A police spokeswoman said a truck and trailer unit rolled 2km north of Mangaweka on State Highway 1 about 6.40am.

One person received minor injuries in the crash.

The trailer unit blocked the southbound lane and a tow truck was required to remove it. The road fully reopened by 11.15am.

No-one was injured when two trucks crashed on Mataroa Road, Taihape, in the early hours of Wednesday.
