Police said the Serious Crash Unit attended.<\/p>\n
The road has been closed but is expected to open shortly.<\/p>\n
A witness passing the crash scene told NZME that Te Atat\u016b Rd was blocked at the intersection after a vehicle carrying two young women collided with multiple election signs and a tree.<\/p>\n
They said firefighters assisted one woman from the car and on to a waiting stretcher as police cars and more ambulances rushed down Te Atat\u016b Rd to the crash scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice eventually moved the cordon further back, blocking Te Atat\u016b Rd from the Z service station, about 400m from the crash site.\u201d<\/p>\n
They said the opposite lane remained open for traffic heading out of the peninsula while police investigated the crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two people were taken to Auckland City Hospital with serious injuries.
