Crash on South Auckland street raises safety questions
Hi neighbours,
An Auckland Transport and Counties Manukau DHB vehicle have collided on a south Auckland road.
The incident occurred at around 10.30am on Wednesday on the corner of Coronation Rd and Hastie Ave in Māngere Bridge.
Resident Angela Dunsmuir said the intersection is dangerous as visibility on the corner is poor for drivers creating a blind spot.
“It’s on a hill and people seem to speed coming up to it,” she said.
Police, fire and ambulance attended the scene, and transported one patient in a serious condition to Middlemore Hospital. Another patient in a minor condition was treated at the scene.
Do you think this Mangere intersection needs safety improvements?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
