A person with serious injuries has been taken to Whanganui Hospital after a car crashed into a power pole in Bulls.
Powerco said the crash on the corner of Wilson and High Sts at 7.08pm on Monday caused two outages and a power pole would be replaced today.
Hato Hone St John said two ambulances responded and took one patient, in a serious condition, to Whanganui Hospital.
Fire and Emergency NZ shift manager Jan Wills said two crews from Bulls attended the crash, assisting with scene protection while awaiting power services.
