The car travelling north had one female driver and a female passenger. Both women also have serious injuries.
All three people have been taken by ambulance to Auckland Hospital .
No further details about the injured people are available at this stage.
A third car that was travelling north and was behind one of the cars involved swerved to avoid the crash and went into a ditch. The driver of that car is not injured.
The Waitemata Serious Crash Unit is on the scene and the road is expected to remain closed for at least another hour.
