Traffic gridlock is expected on Auckland's southern motorway after a two-car crash. The crash has now been fully cleared but long delays remain.
While there didn't appear to be any serious injury suffered by the occupants, the incident blocked two lanes and resulted in one vehicle spinning almost 180 degrees.
The crash happened on the right citybound lane, under the Mountain Rd overbridge, which is between the Gillies Ave and Khyber Pass Rd.
In a tweet, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency urged motorists to expect delays and pass the crash area with care. In a later tweet, the agency noted that the crash had been cleared.
