Power is out in Matapihi, Omanu and Te Maunga this morning after a car struck a pole in Matapihi overnight.
The car rolled and hit a power pole on Matapihi Rd shortly after 1am but was empty by the time emergency services arrived, fire service northern communications shift commander Scott Osmond said.
Police, fire fighters and ambulances responded but all occupants of the car were gone when they arrived.
The crash took down the power lines and the power authorities were called.
The expected restoration is 3pm today.
