Pole Snapped, Wires Slumped
23 March 2015
The broken power pole which caused road closures in Epsom

Members were at a long-duration job today after a truck collided with a power pole in The Drive, Epsom. The mid-morning accident broke the pole in two places and meant transmission lines were left hanging low over the roadway. Using two of our vehicles, members assisted police to close the road and put in diversions... not helped when there was a further incident on the detour in Manukau Road. Special precautions were taken at home-time when pupils from the nearby school crowded on to the Green Lane West intersection. Traffic management was later taken over by contractors.
