Two trucks, One Car and a Power Pole
15 March 2016
The impact of the collision locked the trucks together and smashed a power pole
A power pole, carrying high tension wires was also victim of the accident
Today's early morning crash in Mt Roskill involved two heavy trucks, a power pole and a car, closing Richardson Road for hours. It was a kind of chain reaction when one truck collided with another, which in turn impacted, and smashed, a power pole and was also shunted into a parked car. High tension power wires were dislodged - savage operations could not begin until electricity was isolated and the damaged power pole made safe. Members provided initial cordons, later taken over by traffic management companies who diverted traffic through the morning peak-hour. The driver of the truck escaped injury
