Police said there was oil on the road which was waiting to be cleared but did not know if there were traffic delays.

A St John spokeswoman said two patients had moderate injuries.

They had been taken to Rotorua Hospital.

A woman who drove past the scene said it looked as though the crash was between a motorbike and a van with a trailer.

"The bike was in between the van and the trailer. It didn't look good," she said.
