Police say the driver of a car who veered off an Auckland highway crashed into a parked speed camera van, killing himself and seriously injuring a police staff member.
The crash on Upper Harbour Highway in Greenhithe yesterday morning is being investigated by police and WorkSafe has been advised.
A police employee, 72, remains in a critical condition in hospital.
"An initial scene examination indicates that the speed camera van was parked off to the side of the highway and away from live traffic lanes, in accordance with police policy, for the safety of motorists and our staff," said Detective Inspector Aaron Proctor.
"The van has been hit from behind by a grey Subaru Forester, which has veered off the highway."
