People driving to work along State Highway 2, between Katikati and Tauranga, this morning will notice the burnt out remains of a truck.

A Mainfreight truck caught fire on the highway, outside Aongatete Road.

"A Mainfreight truck had caught on fire and between 5.30am and 6am, it continued to burn out."

A police spokesperson says police were called at 5.23am to reports of a truck fire.

"It doesn't appear that there was any injury and it's not clear how the fire started – there doesn't seem to have been any crash prior to the fire. FENZ were dealing with the fire, so they may be able to assist with more info.
