A St John spokesperson said it was called to the scene just before 9am and sent three ambulances, two rapid support units and a Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
The spokesperson confirmed St John was treating “multiple patients” but could not yet confirm how many, or their status.
A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesperson confirmed it was also there with three fire trucks and a “few” support vehicles.
Whangateau resident Tamarah Sharp said emergency services were having “access issues” due to a slip affecting the road.
“I’m worried because I can see they’re having difficulty because of the road. Hopefully everyone is alright.”
