Motorists travelling between Northland and Auckland faced long delays on Saturday afternoon after a crash closed the main highway.
The two-vehicle crash was reported around 12.45pm on Saturday.
Several people were injured, after a ute and truck collided on State Highway 1 at Brynderwyn, between Whangārei and Wellsford.
Two helicopters and two ambulances helped to take the four injured to hospital, where two are in a critical condition.
SH1 was closed between SH12 and Waipu Gorge Rd, but has since been reopened.
