A person appears to have fallen from an overbridge onto an Auckland motorway before being struck by a vehicle and dying, police say.
The incident occurred on Auckland's Southern Motorway on Friday evening and was reported to police at 11.15pm.
"Enquiries are under way to establish the exact circumstances, however, initial information suggests the person had fallen from the East Tamaki Road Overbridge prior to being struck by the vehicle," police said.
The motorway was closed for around an hour to allow a scene examination to take place.
