A crash has blocked lanes on Auckland’s Southwestern Motorway at Onehunga, and northbound drivers are being warned to take another route.
Two vehicles were involved in the crash on State Highway 20, police said.
One person had serious injuries and two were moderately injured.
“Motorists are advised to avoid the northbound motorway at this time, or delay travel,” they said.
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) said the Queenstown Road offramp was closed as a result of the crash. Motorists should instead use the Hillsborough offramp.
“Allow extra time for diversions. Please follow the directions of emergency services,” NZTA said.
In Southland, Winding Creek Road in Southland was blocked following a single-vehicle crash between midnight and 1am.
Police said injuries were reported, and the Serious Crash Unit was advised.
“Motorists should avoid the road as emergency services work the scene or delay travel. The road is expected to be blocked for most of the day.”
And Invercargill’s Leet Street was closed following a single-vehicle crash around 3am.
“The Serious Crash Unit has been advised, and the road is expected to remain closed for most of the day while emergency services work at the scene,” police said.
