One person died following the collision, while six others were injured.

Four people sustained moderate to serious injuries, while two others received minor injuries.

Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust sent a rapid response vehicle to the crash at 10.44pm to help a baby boy involved in the crash. It said the boy was in a serious condition.
