Driver escapes after electricity cut to box

A worker up a power pole for contracting firm Delta shuts off electricity after a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Midland and Timaru Sts, in South Dunedin, yesterday.

A power box hit by the vehicle had been live but, after the power was switched off, the driver walked away from the crash.

The crash happened shortly before 5pm, a police spokeswoman said, cutting power to at least one nearby property.

No significant injuries were reported.
