One person has been killed and a second has life-threatening injuries after a crash in Papatoetoe in Auckland tonight.
Emergency services were called at 9.30pm to reports that two people were trapped in their badly damaged vehicle after it ploughed into a fence.
The crash happened on Puhinui Rd, between Wyllie Rd and Vision Place.
Fire and ambulance attended the incident first, with the fire service extricating both people from the car. Northern fire shift manager Scott Osmond said the first person had already died when emergency services arrived at the scene.
A St John Ambulance spokeswoman confirmed a person had died and a second person was being taken to Middlemore Hospital in a critical condition.
