A two vehicle crash on Auckland’s SH16 has caused delays.

Long delays are expected and one southbound lane of Auckland’s North-Western motorway remains closed tonight following a two-vehicle crash.

Police said emergency services were called to reports of a crash about 8pm.

“Police are in attendance and initial reports indicate there are minor injuries,” a spokesperson said.

“Two lanes
are now open but there are long delays. Motorists are asked to avoid the area and take alternative routes.”
