Auckland Northern Motorway car roll leaves five injured, one critical

Five people have been injured, one critically, after a vehicle rolled on the Northern Motorway in central Auckland overnight.

The crash happened around 11.20pm, on the northbound motorway before the Victoria Park Tunnel, by Wellington St onramp.

A single vehicle was involved in the crash, and one person was in a critical condition, police said.
