Emergency services are at the scene of a serious two-vehicle crash along Ōhope Road.
Police were called to the scene around 4:55pm.
In response to a comment on a Whakatāne District Council Facebook post, Council said the crash is at “the bend on the left just prior to the Otarawairere turnoff.”
The road is closed, with Council saying “traffic is being diverted through Tāneatua.”
More to come.
