Teen hit by truck in Auckland crash

A 13-year-old girl is in a serious condition after being hit by a truck while crossing the road in Auckland.

Emergency services were called to Great South Rd, Papatoetoe just before 8am by a member of the public.

When ambulance crews arrived she was in a serious condition and bleeding from the mouth, said St John northern communications team manager Norm Ngatai.

"She was crossing a pedestrian crossing at the time and a crane driver hit her," he said.

It is unclear is she was riding or pushing her bike when the incident happened.

The girl was taken to Middlemore Hospital.
