One person is injured after a crash between a fire truck and car in central Auckland on Sunday morning.

The police were called at 9.38am to the intersection of Hobson Street and Victoria Street West.

A police spokesperson said: "At this stage only one person is reported to have minor injuries."

Fire and Emergency's northern communications shift manager Ryan Geen said the fire truck has been damaged and a tow truck was sent to remove the truck.

"At 9.37 this morning, a local crew was responding to a fire call with lights and sirens, while they're on the way, they've had an incident involving another vehicle," he said.

Geen said there was no injuries to the crew and he didn't know when the truck could be repaired.

A police spokesperson said officers were assisting with traffic management.

"Motorists are advised that there will be some delays while the matter is resolved," they said.
