Car rolls in tunnel disrupting Wellington traffic

Rush hour traffic in Wellington was severely disrupted this morning when a car rolled inside The Terrace tunnel causing the closure of both north bound lanes.

Police said there did not appear to be any injuries in the accident which happened just after 6am.

However, it could be some time before the scene was be cleared.

A spokesman said traffic was still able to travel through on the southbound lane but all northbound traffic would need to take alternative routes.
