Two serious crashes kept South Auckland police busy on Saturday morning - including one which claimed the life of a cyclist.
Emergency services responded to a serious crash at Flat Bush involving multiple vehicles and a cyclist.
The crash was reported on Stancombe Rd, Flat Bush just before 8.15am.
Initial indications were that one person was seriously injured. They were later confirmed to have suffered fatal injuries in the crash.
Cordons were in place at the scene and motorists advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes.
Meanwhile, a road is closed in Ōtara after a truck rolled at 5am.
"Police were notified of a container truck that rolled over on Highbrook Drive, near the roundabout at the top of the offramp just after 5am," a police spokesperson said.
"One person has been transported to hospital in a serious condition."
The road is closed until a heavy haulage tow arrives to remove the truck.
The 19-year-old disappeared without her wallet or mobile phone.
