One person is dead following a serious two-vehicle crash in the Auckland suburb of Stillwater.

Two cars collided on East Coast Rd just before 7pm last night.

A Police spokesperson this morning said one person died at the scene and another person suffered moderate injuries.

The Serious Crash Unit attended, and an investigation is under way.

“Our thoughts and sympathies are with the deceased person’s family at this extremely difficult time,” the police spokesperson said.

The road was closed for a period after the crash.

A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said three patients in a moderate condition were assessed and treated.

“Only one person required transportation to hospital.”
