A van carrying sleeping passengers has crashed on Te Ngae Rd, leaving one occupant with a gashed leg.
A police northern communications spokesman said emergency services were called to the scene, outside McDonald's, at 4.43pm Wednesday.
He said one person had suffered minor injuries in the single-vehicle crash.
A Rotorua Daily Post reporter at the scene said it appeared the van had hit a barrier on the side of the road.
Passengers of the van, George Brown, and Harrison Jose Nelson said they were coming home from working in Te Teko.
