    State Highway 16 remains closed at Makarau, north-west of Auckland, after the discovery of a body

    State Highway 16 remains closed at Makarau, north-west of Auckland, after the discovery of a body


    Police want to hear from anyone who saw a pedestrian in the area between midnight and 5.30am, or has dashcam or CCTV footage.

    The death hasn't yet been included in the official summer holiday road toll - which stands at five, after a fatal crash south of Paeroa overnight.

    National Road Policing Manager Steve Greally says fatal crashes are thankfully becoming less common - a trend Police hope will continue.

    He says reducing the road toll means Police are going to fewer traumatic scenes, and breaking traumatic news to fewer families.
