A man has died in a motorcycle crash in Whangārei, after riding through a red light, while fleeing police.

Northland District Commander Superintendent Matthew Srhoj said, at about 12.50pm Saturday, a motorcyclist was signalled to stop on Kamo Road, after being observed riding in a dangerous manner.

"When he fled from police through a red light, a pursuit was initiated, before being quickly abandoned," he said. "The rider soon after collided with a turning car on the corner of Bank and Grey streets.

"Police immediately after provided medical assistance, however, the rider died at the scene."

"The Serious Crash Unit is conducting a scene examination. Enquiries into the circumstances of the crash are ongoing,"

The matter would be referred to the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
