Four people were injured when a bus and several cars collided at Rangiriri north of Huntly this afternoon.

Northern fire communications spokesman Scott Osmond said a bus had collided with three cars.

"I believe there were three vehicles, one person is trapped in a serious but not life-threatening condition.''

Three other people were also injured but none of their conditions was life-threatening, he said.

He was unable to confirm what kind of bus was involved.

One motorist who passed the scene told Newstalk ZB it appeared a bus heading south collided with a northbound car which crashed through the wire median barrier.

Police had closed the road but expected to reopen it shortly.
