A person has died following a serious crash in Waikuku overnight.

Emergency services were called to the three vehicle crash on Main North Road, near Tulls Road, around 9.05pm.

A police spokeswoman said “despite best efforts from emergency services, one person died at the scene.”

St John said it responded with two ambulances and three rapid response vehicles.

Three other patients were assessed and treated at the scene, and didn’t require hospital transportation.

The road was closed while the Serious Crash Unit conducted a scene examination.

Main North Road has since reopened.
