A police spokesperson said emergency services attended the crash, near Huia Rd, which was reported at 11.11am.
“Motorists are being advised to avoid a section of Great North Road, Pt Chevalier, following a vehicle which has crashed into a bus stop.
“Early indications suggest one person has suffered moderate injuries and another person has received minor injuries.”
