Fire crews are battling a large car fire on the Waikato Expressway tonight.

Fire and Emergency NZ (Fenz) received calls about a “well involved” car fire on State Highway 1 at 9.10pm.

Two fire trucks and a water tanker are in attendance “working to extinguish” the blaze.

A passerby told the Herald the fire was just south of Hampton Downs heading southbound.
