Multiple people have been injured in car crashes across the country this evening. 

A person is trapped after a four-car pileup on a busy Christchurch Road.

Emergency services were called to Moorhouse Ave shortly before 6.

Police say the lane which runs adjacent to the Colombo Street Overpass is currently blocked.

There is no information available on injuries yet.

Meanwhile, two people are thought to be in a critical condition, and another seriously injured after a serious two-car crash in Rotorua.

It happened on Pukuatua Street, just before 6PM.

Police say the road is closed and motorists are being asked to avoid the area.
