A person has been critically injured in an incident involving a pedestrian and a vehicle close to where homes are being built on Frances St, Manurewa.

Three fire trucks and several police cars remain at the scene of the 8am crash.

A St John ambulance has already left the scene.

Several neighbours, including children, are standing out in the street.

“Early indications suggest one person has received critical injuries,” a police spokesperson said.

“As the situation is still unfolding, police will provide an update once we are in a position to do so.”

A Frances St resident trying to leave the street said a police officer stopped her and told her a person had died after being run over.

The scene is next to where houses are being constructed and people in high-vis clothing can be seen sitting on grass across the road.

It is understood the incident is connected to the construction site, with police officers seen coming and going from the site. The site has a large fence around it.
