One person is dead in a serious crash that has closed both directions of Wellington's Terrace Tunnel - the main route in and out of the capital's CBD.
The tunnel closure is causing major delays, with citybound traffic backing up beyond The Terrace offramp.

A Wellington Free Ambulance spokesperson said there were two patients, one in a critical condition and one with minor injuries.
However police have since confirmed one person died in the crash.
