Motorists should expect delays in Upper Hutt this evening, with two crashes having occurred on SH2 River Road.

Emergency services were called to River Road, Clouston Park, between Fergusson Drive and Totara Park Road, about 5.50pm after a two-vehicle crash.

Fortunately, there have been only moderate injuries reported.

While travelling under urgent duty driving to the crash, a Police unit was also involved in a three-vehicle crash on River Road near Gibbons Street.

There have been no serious injuries, however a scene examination will be carried out, necessitating road closures.
