One person has died after a serious crash between a vehicle and motorcycle in Auckland’s New Lynn this evening.
The crash occurred about 5.50pm at the intersection of Nikau St and Rimu St.
One person was taken to Auckland City Hospital in a critical condition, where he later died.
A badly damaged red vehicle could be seen on the road.
The road remains blocked as police, including the Serious Crash Unit, conduct a scene examination.
Police say enquiries into the circumstances of the crash are ongoing and have appealed for any sightings or CCTV footage of a Harley Davidson Motorbike driving dangerously between Great North Rd, Rata St, and Rimu St prior to the crash.
A Herald journalist at the scene said a motorbike was lying at the driver’s side of the car.
Hato Hone St John said it was alerted to a crash on the corner of Nikau and Rimu Sts at 5.52pm.
A spokesman said two ambulances and two rapid response vehicles responded.
He referred all further questions to police.
