Attribute to Inspector Kay Lane, Counties Manukau Road Policing Manager:
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of a serious crash outside Pigeon Mountain Primary School in Bucklands Beach on Tuesday morning.
The young girl who was taken to Starship Hospital remains in a critical condition.
This was a tragic incident for all involved and we are ensuring we are providing what support we can at this time.
A 77-year-old man has been forbidden to drive by Police following the incident. Any further decisions around his eligibility for driving will be for Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to make.
