KEY POINTS:
A woman was in a critical condition last night after apparently running in front of a car on SH16 near Makarau, north of Helensville.
Sergeant Stu Kearns, head of the Waitemata serious crash unit, said the woman and a man were walking along a dark stretch of highway when it appeared they started arguing. "The female has then run in front of the car," Mr Kearns said.
The incident happened about 7.10pm.
