Police are “strongly interested” in dashcam footage of a two-vehicle crash that left one critically injured and closed a section of Auckland’s Southern Motorway for several hours this afternoon.
Police said the southbound lanes were blocked at Randwick Park, between Hill Rd and Takanini, following a collision between a car and a motorbike at around 12.30pm on Wednesday.
St John said it responded with two ambulances, a rapid response unit, and a manager.
“Our crews assessed and treated two patients, one in a critical condition, and one in a moderate condition, who were both transported to Auckland City Hospital,” a St John spokesperson said.
NZTA said the northbound lanes remained open but that traffic was heavy and “significant delays” could be expected.
“If you’re travelling south, please follow emergency services for detour details. Plan ahead, avoid the area if possible and expect delays.”
The southbound lanes reopened at around 5.30pm on Wednesday.
Police said they were “strongly interested” in dashcam footage of the vehicles immediately prior to the crash, from people driving along the motorway around the same time.
Anyone with relevant information should contact police on 105.
