A female is in critical condition following a crash between a car and a double-decker bus on State Highway 1 near Otaki, north of Wellington.
Emergency services were called to the scene about 11:20am and the critically-injured female from the car was airlifted to Wellington Hospital by Westpac helicopter.
Police said nobody on the bus was hurt, and passengers have since been transferred on to another one.
Both north-bound and south-bound lanes have been reopened, but there are some delays in the area.
