KEY POINTS:
A man has died after being buried under several tonnes of calf feed today.
Police said the truck driver had been trying to unload the feed at Tuakau, in the Franklin District south of Auckland, when the tailgate of his truck failed to open automatically.
He became trapped while trying to operate the tailgate manually and was buried under the feed.
Police and OSH are tonight investigating at the scene of the accident.
