Seven people have been injured - six seriously - in what is thought to have been a wrong-way crash near Auckland’s Waterview Tunnel late last night.

Emergency services were called to reports of a crash on the citybound link from the tunnel shortly before 11.30pm.

St John said they responded to a traffic incident at 11.18pm and treated seven people. Six people suffered serious injuries and one person had moderate injuries.

Those people have all been taken to “various destinations,” St John said.

A witness said multiple people were trapped after two vehicles crashed head-on. One of the vehicles involved was a Cityhop van.
