Two people have been hurt in a Christmas Eve crash on Auckland's motorways - putting both of them in hospital.
Police and emergency services have been responding to the two-vehicle crash on the Fred Taylor Drive off-ramp of Auckland's Northwestern motorway.
The crash has left one person in a serious condition and one in a moderate condition; both have been taken to hospital.
It also closed the off-ramp for almost two hours - meaning motorists trying to get to Westgate shopping centre for some last-minute spending faced a longer drive to find another exit.
The off-ramp has now been reopened.
