A woman is fighting for her life after being struck by a truck in Auckland's CBD this morning.
The pedestrian, aged about 45 to 50, was taken to Auckland City Hospital in critical condition after being hit on Grey's Avenue about 8.45am, a St John spokeswoman said.
A witness said there were several police and fire staff at the nearby carpark of The Civic theatre on Mayoral Drive.
A Northern Fire Service spokesman said it was called just before 11.20am to wash down the street.
The spokeswoman wouldn't elaborate on what was being washed down.
