Delays, flooding hit Wellington motorists

Wellington's Terrace Tunnel has reopened following a car crash this morning.

Police earlier said all lanes were blocked and diversions in place. No injuries were reported.

There were also warnings of delays on State Highway One - between the Manakau overbridge and Waikawa Stream - this morning as the road had to be closed from 9-10am.

A truck, involved in an accident yesterday, needed to be moved.

Police also warned motorists of heavy surface flooding around Petone and on parts of State Highway One following heavy rain overnight.

Traffic lights near the Melling Link in Lower Hutt are also out.

Sergeant Andy Dow said the lights outage on State Highway Two was caused by the weather and motorists needed to drive to conditions.
