Police Northern Communications Centre Inspector Shawn Rutene said two cars had collided on Te Puna Rd about 10.20am with one rolling on to its side.

Firefighters had to extricate a person from the car.

"Two persons were injured but they are both status four which means they are walking and maybe have a few cuts and bruises," Mr Rutene said.

"We do have concerns for one of the people who is in their 80s."
