Police and ambulances both rushed to the scene, with a police van seen blocking off the road as emergency workers attended.
Officers also manually diverted traffic in the aftermath of the collision, which drew several people to watch as emergency services got to work.
The precise nature and severity of what has happened is not clear at this point.
A minibus was towed away from the scene, and appeared to have a wheel hanging off.
