Serious four-vehicle crash blocks Auckland's Northwestern Motorway

A serious crash has blocked Auckland's Northwestern Motorway on Monday afternoon.

Emergency services were called at around 4:45pm to the crash, which occurred in the westbound lanes between Waterview and Patiki Road.

"Initial reports suggest one person is seriously injured," a police spokesperson says.

"Two westbound lanes are currently blocked."

The NZTA says SH16 has been reduced to just one lane north just after the Great North Road northbound on-ramp.

"Please delay your journey west from the CBD or seek an alternative route until additional lanes can be opened," the NZTA tweeted.
