One person has died following a head-on crash involving two cars towing trailers on SH1 in Northland.

The crash occurred north of Okaihau just after 7pm.

The road is currently closed in both directions and motorists are advised that there will be significant delays, particularly as the serious crash unit is attending an earlier fatal two-car crash near Kaitaia.
