A crash on the North Western Motorway in Auckland, New Zealand is causing serious delays on Thursday.

The crash happened just after 5 a.m. and left at least one person seriously injured. 

The congestion right now is just going to become worse as the morning rush hits, police said.

Police say people should try to avoid the area. Traffic was being diverted onto Great North Road, Waterview, reported the New Zealand Herald.

Only one lane of traffic is moving into the city, reported TVNZ.
