Police are looking for a damaged station wagon after a
pedestrian was hit by a vehicle and killed in Auckland early
this morning.
The male pedestrian was hit by a car about 1.20am on Great
North Rd near Oakley Ave at Waterview.
Great North Rd is currently closed but it is hoped it will be
re-opened for this morning's peak-hour traffic, police said
in a statement shortly after 5am.
Police are looking for a silver Subaru station wagon with
frontal panel damage and are appealing to anyone who may have
witnessed the crash or have any information about the
incident.
Police say they will release no more information about the
deceased man or the circumstances of the crash until the next
of kin have been advised.
Diversions are in place around the closed section of Great
North Rd between the motorway and Oakley Ave.
