Emergency services were called after a truck and trailer left the road and took out a power pole on Wednesday night.
The incident happened on State Highway 2 between Fraser Road and Taniwha Daffodils about 8.30pm.
A police spokesperson said the trailer drifted off the edge of the road, with the truck forced to go with it to avoid a rollover.
Traffic management was put in place while the scene was cleared.
Power was cut to more than 100 Centralines customers for nearly four hours.
It is understood another accident on the same stretch of road occurred yesterday, and was the fourth within a 200m stretch in the last week.
