The crash happened on Onehunga Harbour Rd, near the off-ramp of the Southwestern Motorway just before 7am.
The man was in a critical condition after the crash but has since died.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area if possible.
NZTA is advising motorists to use the Queenstown Rd off-ramp or an alternative route.
A Fire Service spokesman said the Fire Service had no involvement in the emergency response.
