As if a major fire wasn't bad enough, a slew of crashes and breakdowns are causing headaches for morning commuters on the Auckland motorway network.

A crash is blocking the right lane citybound on the Southern Motorway after Te Irirangi Dr. Motorists are asked to merge left with care to pass and expect delays.

And a breakdown is blocking the bus lane on the Northern Motorway just after Greville Rd on-ramp citybound and causing a few delays this morning. Allow extra time.
