Multiple injuries after car crashes into pole in Dunedin

A person is in a serious condition and several others have minor injuries after a car hit a pole in Brockville this afternoon.

A police spokeswoman said the car crashed in Brockville Rd, between Ettrick St and Charters St, about 3pm.

The road is completely blocked because the pole is across the road and lines are down.
