An early morning crash in South Auckland closed a section of road after a car crashed into a power pole, bringing lines down.
The driver of the car suffered moderate injuries after the crash around 4am at the intersection of Great South Rd and Watson Place in Papatoetoe, Police said.
The intersection remained closed while the power lines were cleared and diversions were in place.
At 7.15am Auckland Transport confirmed the road had been re-opened.
Auckland Transport said bus service 33, between Papakura and Otahuhu, would detour via Birdwood Ave, Carruth Rd and St George St in both directions around the closure.
