Emergency services responding after dump truck smashes into house in Auckland

Emergency services are responding to a crash involving a truck that has smashed into a house in Auckland.

Fire crews and police staff have been called to Dairy Flat Highway, in Albany, after reports of a serious truck crash just after 10am.

No injuries have been reported at the scene, a northern fire communications spokeswoman confirmed, and crews received the first report of the crash at 10.10am.

"[The truck] has gone off the road into the side of the house. The wall is gone."

Dramatic photos at the scene show the front of the truck crashed into the side of the property.

A police spokesman said a fully laden dump truck travelling north on The Avenue, Albany, hit a bridge pillar and veered off the road.

It went down a bank and into the side of the two-storey building.

"The truck is currently embedded in the building and cannot be removed until the structure of the building is checked and it is deemed safe to do so."

The bridge structure is also being checked by engineers, he said.

Traffic is said to be flowing still around the area. However, members of the public are being asked to avoid The Avenue until the scene is cleared by emergency crews.

Zhu said he could see police officers around the scene and a tow truck vehicle had just arrived shortly before 11am.
