A psychologist is encouraging the public not to engage in online content like that recorded after a horror crash on Auckland's southern motorway.
Police are slamming the livestreaming of the crash that killed three people at Ramarama on Monday.
They say it was recorded before emergency services arrived and showed close-ups of the deceased in the van and injured laying on the road.
Clinical psychologist Dougal Sutherland told Mike Hosking an interest in death is clashing with social media pressures.
He says it's a reminder to think twice when pulling out phones to record.
