he off-duty police officer charged over the death of cyclist David Lane in Flat Bush has pleaded guilty. Lane, 69, was riding along Stancombe Road adjacent to Barry Curtis Park when he was struck and killed by a vehicle just before 8.15am on September 17. Emergency services responded to the incident with police initially saying the crash involved a cyclist, a moving vehicle and multiple parked vehicles. Cordons were still in place when the Times visited the scene. A blue police tent had been erected in the road and several vehicles, including a Toyota Hilux ute and a Nissan Leaf, which were both damaged, were parked in front of the tent. The Toyota ute had sustained damage to its side and
front and its bumper was partially hanging off while the rear and side of the Nissan Leaf were damaged. A black Nissan Navara ute, which was also damaged, was removed on a tow truck. Police later revealed an offduty police officer involved in the incident would be stood down from duty while an investigation is conducted. The fatal crash has also been referred to the Independent Police Conduct Authority. Police officer Jada Manase appeared in the Manukau District Court on October 21 facing charges in relation to Lane’s death. Manase, who is aged in her early 20s, pleaded guilty to excess breath alcohol causing death and careless driving. She’s due to reappear in court in January next year to be sentenced.
