An early morning crash has blocked traffic on Auckland's Southern Motorway, causing delays through to Takanini.
The 6.15am crash in the right hand lane heading north just after Te Irirangi Drive took over an hour to clear. The NZ Transport Agency warned drivers to expect some delays, with traffic heavy from Manukau through to Papakura.
Due to a power outage, traffic signals are also out in the Highbrook interchange area, further up the Southern motorway.
Traffic on the Northern and Northwestern motorways is also heavy heading into the city.
