One person has been seriously injured in a crash which stalled traffic on Atawhai Drive this morning.
The crash happened shortly before 11am on State Highway 6 near between Bayview and Tui Glen Rds.
A reporter at the scene says traffic was completely stopped for a period to allow emergency services to gain access to the scene, which caused large build-ups in both directions but was then being operated on a one-lane system.
A police spokesperson says the vehicles are both off the road but there may be delays while debris are cleared.
St John Ambulance spokesman Gerard Campbell says one patient was taken to Nelson Hospital with serious injuries and another was treated for minor injuries at the scene.
Fire, police, two ambulances and a rapid response vehicle all attended.
