Traffic into Wellington moved slowly this morning after two separate crashes on State Highway 1 in Ngauranga Gorge.

In one accident, several cars crashed near the speed camera in the southbound lanes before 7am.

All vehicles involved were moved to the side of the road, but "rubberneckers" were slowing traffic.

Sergeant Andy Dow urged motorists to drive to the conditions.

Today in Ngauranga Gorge, 2000 vehicles acting on police advice not to slow down at the scene of an accident, plowed into the back of the vehicle in front of them and were promptly charged for not stopping to offer assitance. A member of the police said, "Duh".
