The lanes are blocked after a two-vehicle crash, police say.

A section of State Highway 1 is blocked south of Hamilton after two vehicles crashed.

The northbound lanes of the highway are blocked near Tamahere on the Waikato Expressway after the crash, which was reported to emergency services just before 8am, police said.

No one was hurt, but the lanes are expected to be blocked for a “short time”.

“Motorists should consider alternative routes or delay travel.”
