Two people are in hospital with serious injuries and a section of road is closed after a major crash in Mt Albert.
A vehicle hit a power pole just before 8.45am in Richardson Rd in Mt Albert, a police spokesman said.
Power lines are down on the road and cordons in place at Harlston Rd and Rangeview Rd as workers clear the lines.
The traffic lights are also out at New North Rd and Richardson Rd.
Auckland Transport says part of Richardson Rd, between Harlston Rd and Stewart Rd, is closed and asks drivers to avoid the route.
