Traffic is now flowing freely along Dominion Rd in Auckland after a car hit a power pole and power lines earlier this morning.

Police said emergency services were called to the scene on Dominion Rd in Mt Roskill about 3.30am this morning after a car struck a power pole and power lines across the roadway.

The driver was not injured in the accident, police said.

Dominion Rd was initially blocked as a crane was required to uplift the power pole, however the road had since been reopened, police said.
