Emergency services are dealing with several crashes on State Highway 2, causing delays for holidaymakers returning to Auckland.
The Fire Service said they were called to a two-car crash near Monument Rd, Maramarua at 5.19pm. Two cars were involved but no one was trapped in the vehicles.
Police northern communications shift inspector Shawn Rutene said there had been a number of small, no-injury crashes on the highway, which was congested with holiday traffic.
No one had been injured but traffic had been affected, he said.
"It's not ideal but we are dealing with it as it comes in,'' he said.
