A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder over a fatal hit and run in West Auckland.

An altercation in a carpark off Glendale Road turned deadly when the driver ploughed into the male victim shortly after midday on Wednesday.

He died at the scene despite the efforts of passerbys to save him. 

One of the first people to rush to the man's aid was Marc Rainbow.

The personal trainer at Fit Factory in Glen Eden frantically performed CPR on the victim before a doctor arrived.

He spoke to Kim Hill.
