A man is dead following a collision between a truck and a car near Dairy Flat, north of Auckland.
Emergency services were called to the scene, on State Highway 17, just after 3pm.
Ambulance communications said the truck driver did not require treatment, but a man in his late twenties to early thirties was killed.
Team leader Keith Hall said the dead man was travelling alone.
Fire fighters were called as there had been a fuel spill and were also needed to retrieve the dead man's body.
