Six injured in Auckland crash

Six people have been injured, one seriously, after a two car crash which has also closed the main road to Maraetai this afternoon.

Inspector Kerry Wilson, of Auckland, said the crash occurred on the Whitford-Maraetai Rd at Beachlands, 37km southeast of downtown Auckland, just before 4.30pm.

The road was closed at the crash site, which was about 400m north of the Beachlands Rd roundabout.

"You can get to Beachlands, but not Maraetai."

One person had been seriously injured and five others had moderate injuries.

A Northern Ambulance Communications spokeswoman said she was still waiting to hear from staff at the scene, but the Westpac Rescue Helicopter is making its way to the scene.
