The intersection of State Highway 25 and Moewai Road in Whitianga has been completely blocked following a serious crash.

Police said they were called to the incident just after 10am Wednesday morning.

One person was reported to have been seriously injured, while another had minor injuries, police said.

All traffic were advised to avoid the area or delay travel as there were no diversions in place, police said.

Those who urgently needed to travel in and out of Whitianga would need to take significantly longer reroutes towards Coromandel or Thames, they said.
