A teenage boy was killed when he was hit by a car driven by his friends while playing a game of "possum" on a west Auckland road yesterday, says a resident.
The boy, believed to be about 17 and from Massey, was hit in Scott Rd, Hobsonville about 2.20pm.
Two
teenagers have been charged with manslaughter and reckless driving causing death and will appear in the Waitakere District Court this morning.
A resident of the street, who did not want to be named, told the Herald she was driving home on the 80km/h rural road when she came across two cars pulled to the side of the road.
The cars belonged to a group of four teenagers - three males and a female. One boy was lying on the ground.
