Motorists were warned this evening to expect delays on State Highway 16 near Auckland's Whenuapai after a vehicle caught fire.
Emergency services were called to the incident at around 6.05pm after receiving a report of a vehicle on fire on the road.
"The fire has been extinguished and no injuries are reported," police said.
There were delays for about an hour while the vehicle was towed and the roadway cleared.

A witness said they were driving towards the car and "saw it on fire underneath and loads of smoke".
"The lady then pulled over and when I was heading back home a few minutes later we saw it fully on fire."
