One person has died after being hit by a train.
A police spokeswoman said the person died after being hit by a train along Ngatai Rd, Tauranga, about 5.30am today.
A reporter on the scene said there was little to see at the scene of the fatal crash in Ōtūmoetai.
"The train is at a standstill down the hill from Ōtūmoetai Intermediate School with no evidence of any collision," he said.
An ambulance and several police vehicles are on scene, as well as a KiwiRail ute.
"A handful of school children are gathering at the corner of the school to look at the train but otherwise they are heading to school as normal."
