Birkenhead
rubbish truck crash – as at 2pm
Auckland Council staff are
on the scene of a fatal rubbish truck crash on Hebe Place, Birkenhead, in which
one person is confirmed to have died.
“The truck was contracted to
Auckland Council for rubbish collection services and we are currently working
with police on the circumstances surrounding the crash,” says John Dragicevich,
Acting General Manager Infrastructure and Environmental Services.
“We would like to extend our
most sincere condolences and support to the family and loved ones of the person
who has so tragically lost their life today, as well as our sympathies to the
family of the injured driver.”
Mr Dragicevich says council
is also aware there is some diesel spillage at the site, and staff will be
working alongside the fire service in order to contain it.
The council will be
providing assistance to police, which is the lead agency in this matter. No
further comment will be made at this time.
