A car fire on State Highway 29 in the Lower Kaimai Ranges that partially blocked the road for close to an hour has been cleared.
Emergency services were called to the scene between Hanga and Rapurapu Rds about 4pm, a police spokeswoman said.
There were no injuries but the road was blocked for a time, she said.
The vehicle had now been removed and traffic was starting to flow again, she said.
