A pedestrian has been knocked down by a truck in central Auckland.
The man had gone to cross the road in front of a bus that had stopped across the road from the Langham Hotel on Symonds St just before 12.30pm.
A witness said he saw the man walk in front of the bus and into the path of an oncoming truck.
The truck driver saw him, hit the brakes but clipped him.
"He would have had no time to stop,"Anthony Cassidy said.
