A cyclist has died after colliding with a truck in Belmont in Auckland.
Emergency services were called to the intersection of Lake Rd and Montgomery Ave just after 1pm.
One ambulance responded, but police say a cyclist died at the scene.
Locals have posted to social media saying multiple policecars could be seen "racing" down Lake Rd.
A section of the road, the main thoroughfare in and out of Devonport, was closed following the death. It has now re-opened, but traffic management remains in place.
