A person has been rushed to hospital after they were “struck by a bus” in the Auckland suburb of Onehunga.
A police spokesperson said a section of Church St was briefly closed while emergency services responded to the incident shortly after noon today.
“The area has now cleared and inquiries are ongoing into the crash,” police said.
Auckland Transport (AT) said it was “upset” to learn a person had been “struck by a bus near Onehunga town centre”.
“Our thoughts are with them at this time. We’ll be working with police and the bus operator to understand what happened and to ensure the bus driver gets the support they need.”
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson confirmed one patient in a moderate condition was transported to Auckland’s Greenlane Hospital.
AT took to social media shortly after 1pm, saying that due to a “serious crash” a section of Church St – between Gerrard Place and Onehunga Mall – had been closed.
“Avoid this area or expect delays with diversions in place affecting all traffic, including bus services.”
The section of road reopened about 2pm.
