A car crash has blocked morning traffic on State Highway 2 between Clive and Napier this morning.
A police spokesperson said they were called to the scene of a two-car crash at 8.43am between Hellyers Lane and the bridge across the Ngaruroro river, just north of Clive.
St John Ambulance had been called to the scene to assess if there were any injuries and one person involved had complained of a sore neck, they said.
Road contractors were en route to help direct traffic and the cars involved were being moved off the road so traffic could flow again.
One motorist, who was at a standstill on the Tutaekuri bridge, said traffic was backed up towards Clive.
