More than 730 customers in Pukehangi were left without power for several hours this morning after a car being chased by police crashed into a power pole.
A police media spokeswoman said the car crashed into a power pole on the corner of Susan St and Clayton Rd shortly after 1.20am.
The driver allegedly failed to stop for a compulsory breath test on Ranolf St, sparking the chase.
The driver suffered minor injuries while the passenger in the vehicle was uninjured.
