A person has died in hospital two days after a South Auckland crash in which a vehicle hit a tree and flipped onto its side on a residential street. Police confirmed this morning that a person died in hospital on Thursday, following the crash on Eugenia Rise, Totara Heights, last Tuesday. Emergency services were called to the single-vehicle crash about 1.23am. The vehicle had hit a tree and flipped onto its side in the middle of the road, a police spokesperson said. One person suffered moderate injuries, and one was taken to hospital in a serious condition. “Sadly, they passed away in hospital on Thursday evening,” said a police spokesperson. The Serious Crash Unit attended the scene. Inquiries into the cause of the crash are ongoing.
