Following this crash, there was another collision in the area in the opposite direction, southbound.
“Police are responding to a crash on the Auckland Southern Motorway, travelling Southbound near Ellerslie,” the police spokesperson said.
Two lanes are blocked, but traffic is moving through the area, they said.
“There are no reports of injuries,” they said.
Meanwhile, drivers travelling in both directions on Auckland’s Southern Motorway near Newmarket can expect “long delays” due to the crashes.
As at 2.15pm, the crash located just after the Ellerslie-Panmure on-ramp was cleared, NZTA said in a tweet.
However, New Zealand’s transport agency warned travellers could still expect long delays in both directions between East Tamaki and Newmarket.
“Expect delays as congestion eases through the area,” NZTA wrote in the tweet.
