The crash is in a northbound lane just before the State Highway 1 and 22 interchange, the New Zealand Transport Agency said.

“Expect delays as congestion has developed northbound in the area,” NZTA said.

Earlier, another crash on the Southern Motorway just past the Mt Wellington off-ramp created delays about 6am.

The single-car crash in a lefthand northbound lane was reported to police.
