Police report that a person has been confirmed as dead following a crash that happened in Waterview, Western Auckland, on Sunday morning.

A ute collided with a traffic light pole near the intersection of Alford Street and Great North Road after 3am.

Two occupants involved in the incident were injured, one serious — a third sustained minor injury.

Diversions were in place for some time. This is due to heavy lifting equipment that is required to remove the vehicle.

An investigation into the circumstances of the crash was underway.

Enquiries will continue in order to locate and advise the next of kin.
