A 16-year-old windscreen washer has died from his injuries after being hit by a car in Greenlane last week.
The teenager was reportedly jogging across Great South Rd and looking in the opposite direction before he was hit by a vehicle.
The teenager sustained critical injuries and died in Auckland Hospital on Thursday.
Auckland City East Area Commander Steve Clark said this tragic incident serves as a reminder of the warning of the dangers associated with "partaking in this unlawful activity".
"This is a very dangerous activity, which can have serious and sometimes fatal consequences, as pedestrians risk their safety by crossing in front and around of moving vehicles."
