Two truckers were trapped in their cab in Mosgiel after a crash caused live power lines to tangle over the vehicle.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) spokeswoman said crews from Lookout Point and Mosgiel were called to the crash in Gow St about 2.50pm.
The truck crashed into a power pole, bringing it down on the vehicle along with the power lines.

Fenz crews told the two occupants to stay in the truck until the power authority could come out and isolate the power.
The power lines were smoking at a point, the spokeswoman said.
Police were also in attendance and a police spokeswoman said the pair in the truck both had minor injuries.
The power pole and lines were on the road and the road was partially blocked, the spokeswoman said.
