Nobody was trapped and fire crews have assisted police with scene safety.

A St John spokesperson said an ambulance was on scene treating two patients in a moderate condition.

Power was out in the area due to the crash as the lines were knocked down. Around 50 nearby homes were without power.

A MainPower spokesperson said it will take until this afternoon for the pole to be replaced.

The intersection will remain closed until it can be restored. Motorists are advised to avoid the area.
