Truck driver killed in Auckland crash

11:01 pm on 1 November 2013

A truck driver died in a crash on Auckland's north-western motorway on Friday evening.

Police say he was driving towards the city, near the Te Atatu interchange, when his truck veered off the road and hit a lamp-post and then a tree.

People in other vehicles stopped to help the man but he died at the scene.

The police say one of the two city-bound lanes were closed and the Serious Crash Unit is investigating.
