Traffic has finally cleared after being bumper-to-bumper for several hours on the Northern Motorway in Auckland following five separate traffic incidents since 8am, NZTA confirmed.
Rush-hour traffic was already building up when a crash happened on the city-bound lanes just after Constellation Drive.
Just one hour later, a motorcycle collided with a car on the same route near Northcote Rd.
This was followed by a four-vehicle crash near the Constellation Drive off-ramp around 11.30am. At least one person was said to have sustained neck injuries.
