A crash involving a truck and multiple cars has caused delays for city workers heading home on Auckland's Southern Motorway.

Emergency services were called to the scene, just before the motorway's East Tamaki exit, at 5.43pm, a police spokeswoman said.

No one was seriously injured in the crash and the vehicles were clear of the road when police arrived.

NZTA said traffic was heavy southbound through Manukau, despite the damaged vehicles being moved off the road.

The motorway is also congested northbound from Mt Wellington to Greenlane.
