A section of Auckland’s Southern Motorway has reopened following a “multi-vehicle” crash this evening.
A police spokesperson said the crash on Great South Rd, Bombay, was reported about 6.50pm and a southbound section of State Highway 1 was blocked.
“Traffic [is] being diverted off the Bombay off-ramp and back on to the Bombay on-ramp,” police said.
Police said there were no serious injuries reported.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) said SH1 had closed to southbound traffic due to a crash near the southbound Bombay off-ramp.
“Follow directions by emergency services on-site and expect significant delays,” NZTA said.
At 8pm, traffic had backed-up almost 3km from the Bombay off-ramp.
Shortly before 9pm, police said SH1 ha since reopened.
The shark had washed up dead on the shore earlier this week.
