Around 200 homes are still without power in the Springvale, Mosston, and Castlecliff areas after a car crash took out a power pole on Springvale Rd early Sunday morning.
A man is in a serious condition in Whanganui Hospital following the crash.
Around 1400 properties were without power immediately after the crash. The Wanganui Chronicle has received numerous reports of electrical appliances being damaged or even destroyed after the power cut.
Krysti Wetton from lines company Powerco said this was due to 33kV lines clashing with 11kV lines during the crash.
"If your home has been affected by this power cut and you are still without supply please phone Powerco on 0800 200 904. We will arrange for an electrical inspector to check your property to ensure it is safe to reconnect supply," Ms Wetton said.
