Two people have been injured after a car was flipped during a two-vehicle accident in West Auckland today.

A police spokesperson said two people were moderately injured following the crash on Blockhouse Bay Rd around 5.15pm.

“Traffic management is in place.”

A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they sent two ambulances to the scene around 5.10pm.

”There are two patients in a moderate condition who do not require transportation.”

One resident posted on Facebook that there was a major accident outside the community centre and people should “avoid road at all costs”.

Another person asked, “How does that even happen on that stretch of road?” while another said, “It was really bad ... police was trying to take out the people from the car”.
