Police said their investigations into the circumstances of the accident are continuing.
The accident was the second serious accident on Christmas Day, and high speed was a factor.
Earlier that day at 5.45am, police said a person was in critical condition in hospital after an accident on Princes St East in Ōtahuhu.
