'It appears the woman's car was in the truck's drivers blind spot and he has clipped her,” says Wayne.

'She was uninjured but very shaken.”

Powerco contractors are currently at the scene examining the power pole for any potential damage.

While the scene is being cleared, police are diverting eastbound traffic heading over the flyover traffic down Spur Avenue, and along Links and Concord avenues, then back onto Maunganui Road.
