A man has died after a car and crane crashed at a West Auckland intersection yesterday.
The man was the only person in the car when it collided with a crane on the corner of Hobsonville and Brigham Creek Rds.
The Fire and Emergency services used the jaws of life to get the man out of the smashed car and he was taken to Auckland Hospital.
A witness, who was driving behind the car before it turned onto Brigham Creek Rd, told the Herald the damage to the car was "extensive".
Another bystander told the Herald he heard a massive bang and saw a large crane had crashed into a Mercedes Benz.
A police spokesperson said no charges were likely against the crane driver and the man's death had been referred to the coroner.
