A motorcyclist had help quickly at hand after hitting a turning taxi head-on right outside the Ponsonby Fire Station on Ponsonby Road in Auckland NZ tonight. Footage showing Auckland Police, Ponsonby Fire Rescue and St John ambulance staff in action at the injury crash. The cyclist was thrown from his Kawasaki and was stretchered from the scene to an ambulance where St John staff transported him to Auckland Hospital. After a number of high profile pedestrian crashes on this busy road in upmarket Ponsonby over the last few years the Auckland Council lowered the speed limit from 50km/h to 40km/h. The Fire Rescue tender then returned back to base before immediately being dispatched to another job.
