There is traffic carnage on Auckland's Southern Motorway this evening after a crash caused a boat to fall off its trailer.

The NZ Transport Agency said the crash is blocking three right lanes southbound after the Princes St off-ramp near Sylvia Park mall.

"It's understood two vehicles have crashed, which has caused a boat to fall of the back of a trailer," police said in a statement.

"Police are currently at the scene and one southbound lane remains open."

There were no serious injuries from the accident and motorists are being told to expect delays.

One commuter in the area said traffic is backed up for kilometres.
