A police pursuit ended in a dramatic multi-car crash this evening on Auckland's motorway, which led to three people jumping over a highway barrier before being taken into custody.
Police said the incident involved a driver who fled police around 6.30pm before later crashing on State Highway 16, near the
St Lukes Rd off-ramp.
Footage of the crash from Waka Kotahi web cameras showed multiple emergency service vehicles at the site on the Northwestern Motorway, including firefighting trucks.
The route westbound was blocked for more than an hour as the scene was being cleared, causing delays of up to 30 minutes for motorists.
A police spokeswoman said three people had been taken into custody after the incident. One person involved in the collision sustained minor injuries.
