On impact, multiple persons were trapped, being left in a critical condition and having to be cut free by fire crews.
Allens Road has been closed by Auckland Operational Support and Police while the Serious Crash Unit attended.

“The vehicle was part of a group of boy racer group, we understand at this stage.
“The conditions are wet, and the simple message is slow down and drive to the conditions.”
