A young woman has been identified as the person killed in an early morning crash in an Auckland suburb over the weekend.
Emergency services were called to a spot on Mt Eden Rd, near Three Kings Grove, shortly before 5am yesterday after reports of a crash.
Police confirmed the woman's identity in a statement today.
"She was Tonga Pani, 22," a spokeswoman said.
"[Our] thoughts are with Tonga's family and friends at this tragic time."
The cause of the collision is not yet known.
The crash involved two vehicles - one a van and the other a car.
A person from one of the vehicles was also taken to hospital, for treatment, after suffering moderate injuries.
