Emergency services have closed State Highway 10 this evening after another serious crash in Northland to allow a helicopter to land at the scene.
Police said the incident occurred on the highway about a kilometre south of Matauri Bay Rd, around 8.35pm.
A helicopter has been called to transport the patients and the road, which has been operating with one lane, will be closed for a time to allow the helicopter to land.
Police said they were responding to reports of a two-car crash and initial indications suggest three people are injured, one possibly seriously.
A Fire and Emergency spokesman told Newstalk ZB two crews had been sent to assess the two-vehicle crash.
