A man has escaped being electrocuted after crashing his vehicle into an electrical "transformer box" by the roadside.
The man in his 20s crashed into the transformer box and suffered multiple injuries when his car left the road at Mauku, near Pukekohe.
He was initially trapped after the airbag went off.
An Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called to the scene, but its team elected to send the seriously hurt man to Middlemore Hospital by St John ambulance.
