Motorcyclist dies in crash that partially closed major motorway

A motorcyclist has died in a crash that caused the temporary closure of Auckland’s Northwestern Motorway northbound lanes overnight.

Police rushed to the scene of the single-vehicle crash on the Northwestern Motorway near Lincoln Road around 10:25pm.

“Despite efforts by emergency services, the driver sadly died at the scene,” police said in a statement.

“Our thoughts and sympathies are with their family at this difficult time.”

The crash came after a motorcyclist was killed on the Kaipara Coast Highway in Kaukapakapa earlier on Saturday.

Investigations into both crashes are ongoing.
