A serious crash has blocked eastbound traffic on Auckland’s Northwestern Motorway – State Highway 16 into the city, with drivers called to avoid the area.

An RNZ reporter said one car was wrecked in the Sunday morning crash, and by 11.30am traffic was built up as far as Hobsonville Rd.

Police said one person was seriously injured in the two-vehicle collision, and ambulance crews were at the scene.

“Only one lane is open at this time, causing traffic to build. Motorists are advised to avoid the motorway at this time, or delay travel,” the police spokesperson said.

NZTA said the crash was in the eastbound Lincoln Rd to Te Atatu Rd section of SH16, and also said drivers should avoid the area.
