Police said nobody was injured, but it's understood the truck ran into overhead lines which toppled a power pole, which then fell on to a parked car, causing the temporary blockage of both lanes.

A total of 43 customers were without power on Niven St, Wakefield St and Edmundson St.

Police officers conducted traffic management and the power company attended.
