A car crash in Kaikorai Valley Rd yesterday afternoon left a power pole lying across the northbound lane and knocked an electricity distribution box out of the ground.
A police spokesman said the crash happened about 2.45pm near Ash Air, between Kenmure Rd and Burnside.
The car hit a lamp-post and an electricity distribution box, he said.
The northbound lane was blocked while technicians worked to disconnect power.
St John also attended but a woman working in a nearby shop said the driver appeared shaken but uninjured.
St John spokesman Gerard Campbell confirmed the ambulance was stood down as the driver was not hurt.
