A worker is in a critical condition after a large machine toppled on him at a West Auckland building site.

Emergency Services were called to the residential Massey building site late this afternoon where a soil compactor had fallen down a bank, trapping its driver underneath.

St John says his colleagues tried to get him out.

The worker was eventually freed and taken by ambulance to Auckland hospital in a critical condition.  

The Serious Crash Unit has been notified, and Worksafe NZ will be investigating.
