Update, 6pm: One person has been taken to hospital in a serious condition following a crash on State Highway 29 in the lower Kaimai area on Sunday afternoon.

"One person was transported to hospital in a serious condition."

"Traffic management is in place on SH29."

A SunLive reader says he arrived at the scene just after the crash occurred.

"The damaged motorbike -  it looked like a tricycle motorbike - although it was significantly smashed up with debris spread all over the road, damaged car, and seriously injured rider - were all on the road blocking traffic traveling towards Tauranga on SH29, directly across from the entrance to McLaren Falls Road," says the SunLive reader.

"Unfortunately, I've seen too many accidents at this exact location, because I have travelled between Tauranga and Hamilton on a regular basis over the past 40 years. [We are] very concerned for the injured man. Pray he is okay."
