One person has been injured after a car hit a power pole, crashed through a fence and ended up with a post through the windscreen.
The crash happened about 1.40pm on State Highway 30, about 150m past the intersection with SH33 just outside Rotorua.
A photographer at the scene said the car was sitting in a paddock, having crashed through a fence. A large post has gone through the passenger side of the windscreen.
