A child has been injured after being hit by a car on Auckland's Ponsonby Rd.

A police spokesperson told Newshub emergency services were called to the scene shortly after 4pm on Wednesday.

"The crash involves a car and pedestrian. The pedestrian, a child, has sustained moderate injuries in the incident," the spokesperson said.

Hato Hone St John told Newshub the patient was assessed, treated and transported to Auckland Central Hospital in a moderate condition.

One ambulance and one rapid response vehicle attended.

Meanwhile, police are making enquiries into what has occurred.

The road remains open.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, another person has been taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition after a minor crash in Manukau.

Two vehicles collided around Lambie Dr just before 5:30pm, a police spokesperson told Newshub.

The two drivers stopped on nearby Druces Rd to exchange details - but one of them suffered what police believe to be a medical event.

"Emergency services attended the scene and the driver has been taken to Middlemore Hospital," police said.
