An Auckland teenager is in a stable condition in hospital after he was hit by a truck earlier this week.
The 17-year-old Lynfield College student was dragged under a two-tonne truck on Terry St in Blockhouse Bay on Thursday afternoon.
The schoolboy initially showed signs of improvement, before his condition deteriorated late on Friday.
Horrified witnesses saw him dash across Terry St in front of a bus about 3.40pm on Thursday, to catch another bus which had arrived at a stop directly opposite.
He is understood to have gone to his home nearby to change clothes after school was let out early, and had tried to catch the first bus to go shopping in New Lynn.
