April 24, 2018

Inspector Duncan Hall says speed was likely a factor in the accident.

A two vehicle crash in West Auckland late last night has left one person dead.

Emergency services were called to the two-vehicle crash on Central Park Drive, near Henderson, at 10.55pm, April 23.

Police said in a statement one person died at the scene and two others were taken to hospital with moderate injuries.

The injured victim is a child who is in a stable condition in Starship Hospital.

New Zealand's 2018 road toll currently sits at 127 and is on track to pass last year's total of 380 deaths on our roads.

2017's figure was the highest number of deaths since 2009, when 384 people died on our roads.
