Three people are in a serious condition in hospital after a crash that has closed off multiple roads around a West Auckland suburb. 

Hato Hone St John staff said two of those seriously injured were taken to Auckland City Hospital, while the third was taken to the Greenlane Medical Centre. 

A fifth person in a minor condition did not require hospital treatment.

Police said they were called to the Portage Rd and Clark St intersection in New Lynn just after 11.30am.

A photo from the scene shows a badly mangled car on the footpath and a fallen traffic light. 

Police say there are serious injuries after a crash in New Lynn, Auckland. 

Wreckage is strewn across the road while firefighters work to extract people from the car. 

Auckland Transport said all lanes leading up to the intersection have been closed. 

Meanwhile, emergency services are also at a crash in the Glenfield Mall carpark this afternoon, police said. 

“It appears two vehicles have collided on the level 4 carpark. Early indications suggest one person has suffered a medical event.”
