Stolen Vehicle vs Pole - Mt Roskill
29 September 2015
Duke Street was closed for hours, blocked by the fallen power pole and live wires.

The driver of a stolen station wagon had a lucky escape after the vehicle slammed into a double power pole and spate telephone pole in Mt Roskill this morning. The double pole held an overhead transformer which crashed in to the street. The driver of the wagon somehow managed to make a getaway through the mangled vehicle and myriad of high-voltage power wires. Police investigating the vehicle said it had been stolen and had un-matching number plates. Members cordoned Duke Street for several hours until a traffic management company took over.
