An intersection was blocked after a two-vehicle crash on Ingham Rd Thursday morning, right before rush hour traffic was due to start.

Firefighters were called out to the incident at 6.35am and remained on the scene until at least 7.15am waiting for tow trucks to help clear the Webb Dr-Ingham Rd intersection.

Police said they were on scene directing traffic through the intersection due to the fact one vehicle was still across the intersection.

No injuries were sustained during the early morning crash.
