Donovan Ave has been blocked by emergency services.
One person was run over and killed on a residential street in Massey, West Auckland, police confirmed.
Sergeant David Best said the person died on Donovan Ave around 2:10 p.m. Wednesday.
The vehicle involved rolled down a driveway and struck a person, a police spokeswoman said.
“Initial inquiries indicate that no one was in the vehicle at the time.”
A police car blocked the entrance to Donovan Ave shortly after the incident and two more police cars and an ambulance were parked on the street.
A neighbor said that she had heard a “loud bang and a scream” while she was turning off her clothes, but did not think about it.
When she realized what had happened, she was shaking and upset, she said.
A reporter at the scene said the incident appeared to have occurred on the trail, where it meets the driveway. They had placed a white sheet over a truck.
Residents of nearby Don Buck Rd said they did not know what exactly happened, but recalled hearing sirens around 2:20 p.m.
