A long stretch of State Highway One north of Auckland has reopened following a fatal crash early this morning.
The highway between Silverdale and Warkworth - a distance of 34 kilometres - was closed following the 4.50am crash.
However, police said just after 10am the road had reopened.
One person died and four others were seriously hurt in the two-car crash.
The highway was closed so the injured could be treated and diversions put in place, police said.
