Some 700 households will be without power until this afternoon after a car hit a power pole in South Auckland this morning.
The pole split in two during the crash just after 6.30am on Gray Ave in Papatoetoe.
A northern fire communications spokeswoman said the driver was not trapped.
St John said no one was injured.
Lines company Vector's website said 700 households were without power.
They had initially expected to restore power by 9am, but they are now estimating power will remain out until 3pm.
