One of the two vehicles involved in a crash that closed Lindis Pass for five hours today was a police car.

A police spokesperson said they were advised of the crash at the intersection with Short Cut Rd at about 10am.
There were no serious injuries in the crash but it closed the pass for about five hours.
A NZ Transport Agency/Waka Kotahi spokesman said drivers should expect some delays as traffic clears.
The Serious Crash Unit is investigating.
