Lanes on a major Auckland road are blocked after a crash that critically injured a motorcyclist this morning, police say.
“Northbound lanes of Great South Rd at Manurewa are blocked following a serious crash involving a motorcycle,” they said.
Emergency services were called to the scene, nearMahia Rd, about 11.20am.
“The rider of the [motor]bike received critical injuries.”
The Serious Crash Unit would be carrying out a scene examination and traffic management was in place, police said.
“The man entered the northbound on-ramp at Dominion Rd at around 1.30am ... none of the vehicles [which struck the man] stopped at the time.”
She urged the drivers to “do the right thing” and get in contact with police as an investigation is now under way.
“They are an important part of us establishing the circumstances of this tragic event.”
The victim’s identity was known but formal identification and next-of-kin processes would need to be completed before they released further details, police said.
Dashcam footage wanted
They wanted to hear from people travelling on the Southwestern Motorway between 1.30am and 2am, said Bostock, of Auckland City CIB.
“We know there were a number of vehicles passing through, so we’d especially like to hear from anyone who has dashcam footage.”
Police can be contacted by calling or going online to 105, or by going to a local police station.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
