Vector are working to restore power to affected customers after a car crashed
into a power pole in Auckland's Glen Eden earlier this morning.


In a statement police said a vehicle collided with a power pole on West Coast
Rd shortly after 5am, which caused some power disruption in the area.


"As a result of the damage to the pole, some customers are currently without
power in the area," a Vector spokesperson confirmed.


Vector said crews were currently onsite to repair and safely restore power to
affected customers later today.


"We thank those in the area for their patience."

"Thankfully, the driver has not been seriously injured," police said.


The road is currently blocked in both directions between Bowers and Pleasant
roads.


Auckland Transport said multiple bus stops remain closed because of the crash.


Commuters are advised to expect delays and to avoid the area if possible.
