Counties Manukau Police are seeking witnesses following a fatal truck crash on Ridge Road, Bombay on Tuesday 6 December, 2016.

At approximately 1pm on 6 December, a black Isuzu truck and trailer unit, with JP Cartage on the side, was being driven along Ridge Road, Bombay to drop a load off.

On its return, the driver was heading east, towards State Highway 1, when it left the road and went down a bank, before coming to rest against some pine trees.

The driver was transported to hospital with serious injuries and unfortunately died on 10 December 2016.

The 61-year-old driver had also dropped off another load earlier that day, driving the same route. 

Anyone who saw the black truck and trailer driving along Ridge Road that Tuesday afternoon is asked to contact Constable Griffiths at the Serious Crash Unit on 09 262 9141.
