Emergency services were alerted to the crash near near Puhinui Rd around 4.45pm, with Fire and Emergency NZ sending crews from Mangere, Papatoetoe and Papakura to the scene.
Three people have been injured. St John said one person was in serious condition, one was in moderate condition and another person had minor injuries.
The incident had initially blocked all southbound lanes but the crash had since been cleared and the road repoened to traffic.
Delays could be expected however until congestion in the area had cleared.
