Traffic has cleared following a four-car crash on Auckland's northwestern motorway this evening.
A witness said a car spun out in torrential rain on the stretch of motorway between Bond St and the Newton Rd off-ramp.
Traffic was initially gridlocked as emergency services cleared the scene.
A northern police communications spokesman said the four cars had hit and become "nose to tail".
He said the cars had since been cleared, and traffic was once again flowing freely.
