Motorists had a rough start to their days after a bus and a car collided on Welcome Bay Road this morning.

Western Bay of Plenty road policing manager Senior Sergeant Ian Campion says the smash left one lane blocked.

The crash happened near the Welcome Bay Shops shortly before 7.15am.

'The collision did cause some disruption to traffic this morning but thankfully neither driver nor the passengers in the bus or the car were injured.”

Ian says the road was cleared shortly after the crash.

At this stage it is unknown what led to the collision.

Police are also investigating a crash in which a truck and trailer unit rolled at the State Highway 2/State Highway 33 roundabout near Paengaroa.

Ian says a truck and trailer unit travelling from Matata overturned on the roundabout shortly before 4pm.

It appears no other vehicles were involved in the crash and there were no reports of injuries.
