One person died in a crash between a car and a dirtbike in central Hamilton yesterday.

A police spokesperson confirmed one person had died following a serious two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Willoughby St and Mill St yesterday afternoon.

Police were called to a crash at around 3.25pm.

“Sadly, the rider of the dirtbike received critical injuries and was transported to hospital, where they later died,” police said.

Two young people in the car were also taken to hospital to be treated for moderate injuries.

The Serious Crash Unit closed the road yesterday to complete a scene examination, and enquiries into the circumstances of the crash are ongoing.

Yesterday, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said they received a call at 3.30pm about a crash between a car and a motorcycle in central Hamilton.

A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they responded to the crash, and four patients were transported to Waikato Hospital in a moderate condition.
