A roadworker in Auckland’s Remuera is in a critical condition after being run over and crushed by a truck on Wednesday night.
The man, who is suffering leg and pelvic crush injuries, was rushed to Auckland Hospital just after 10pm.
Senior Sergeant Kuhrt Wieneke spoke with Newshub at the scene of the crash on Victoria Ave, where new asphalt was being put down by roadworkers.
“What we know is a large truck rolled down the hill and collected one of the workers here, causing critical injuries to him,” he said.
“He has been taken through to Auckland City Hospital with some leg and pelvic crush injuries. He has been described as being in a critical condition.”
