A crash on Auckland's northwestern motorway has been dealt with quickly, but it's still likely there will be delays.

Newstalk ZB's timesaver traffic reported a crash occurred on the city bound lane next to the Te Atatu Rd on-ramp.

The crash blocked the left and middle lanes causing a backlog of traffic.

The crash was cleared so quickly police weren't even called to the scene.
