Traffic is back to flowing normally on Auckland's Southern Motorway after a three-vehicle crash caused delays and injured a person this morning.

Emergency services were called to the crash near the Papakura on-ramp in Drury just before 8am as many began their morning commute.

"At this stage it appears one person has received injuries," police said.

In an update, NZTA confirmed the crash had been cleared, with all lanes open.

"Traffic is flowing normally," NZTA said.
