A person was seriously injured after a crash on the Maungatapu Bridge this morning.

A police spokeswoman said a car had rolled on State Highway 29A on the bridge about 3.30am. The southbound lane was blocked.

A St John spokeswoman said one person had been taken to Tauranga Hospital in a serious condition.

The car was towed away about 4.51am, however, crews had dealt with an oil spill for about an hour before reopening the road, the police spokeswoman said.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said fire and ambulance crews had attended the incident.
