A 19-year-old woman is dead after a one-car crash on State Highway 20 in Auckland early today, and police say they are working hard to figure out the circumstances of her death.
Police said a 20-year-old man is helping with their enquiries after the incident, which occurred at 3.20am.
A police spokesperson said they were advised the car had crashed, and located the deceased woman at the scene. An earlier press release described it as a “serious incident” and said one person had been arrested.
