A crash along Auckland's northern motorway blocked a lane of traffic and caused delays for motorists this evening.
Police and roadside assistance worked to clear the smashed car as traffic piled up, as NZTA warned motorists to expect delays in both directions.
The right southbound lane after the Esmonde Rd off-ramp was blocked by the crash shortly before 6pm.
The lane has since reopened, but commuters heading home can still expect delays.
