One person has been critically hurt in a crash involving a cyclist in Auckland’s Herne Bay this morning.

Emergency services were called to West End Rd following reports of a crash involving a vehicle and a cyclist just before 6.30am.

“One person has been transported to hospital in a critical condition,” a police spokesperson said.

West End Rd between Jervois Rd and Fife St has since reopened, and police thanked motorists for their patience while crews worked to clear the scene.

Inquiries into the circumstances of the crash were ongoing.
