More than 200 Whanganui properties are without power after a vehicle struck a power pole in Aramoho.
Powerco is working to restore electricity to 229 properties in the suburb after it was cut on Wednesday morning.
A police spokesperson said the driver has not been located after the Brunswick Rd crash was reported at 5.01am.
"The power pole was still standing, but on a slant, so it caused a small blockage of Brunswick Road," the spokesperson said.
"It looks as though that has been cleared since, the driver has not been found and Police are still investigating."
