A vehicle has hit a gas main in Morrinsville and a road is closed.
A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said they were called to the incident on Moorhouse St about 8.11am.
The road is closed between Anderson and Thames streets and crews were monitoring the situation, he said.
The local gas authority has been advised.
A police spokeswoman said emergency services were responding to the crash and no injuries have been reported.
A staff member at Ezekiel Trust Community Kindergarten on Moorhouse St said it was closed today while Central Kids Kindergarten said they would continue caring for kids as usual as the business didn鈥檛 use gas.
A staffer at Redoubt Bar and Eatery on Thames St said she drove through the incident on her way to work and saw an ambulance, a police car, and fire truck with people running around the scene.
She didn鈥檛 think anyone was 鈥渟everely injured鈥 but said people looked like they were in a panic trying to help.
She was unsure if their eatery was affected by the gas main hit, and said they hadn鈥檛 been informed of it yet.
