Auckland's Southern Motorway has been choked by smoke on Monday afternoon after a car caught fire.
Smoke could be seen billowing across the southern motorway as firefighters fought to put the fire out.
Emergency services say a vehicle caught fire just after 1.30pm near the Gillies Ave off-ramp closing off at least one lane.
NZTA says motorists should avoid the area and can expect delays.
