A crash blocked part of a busy road in central Christchurch this morning.
A downed light pole was blocking a lane on Fitzgerald Ave, near Pomeroy's Old Brewery Inn, after a van crashed into it about 7.30am on Friday.
The left-hand turning lane from Fitzgerald Ave onto Kilmore St was also closed after the rush hour crash.
A Waka Kotahi NZTA spokesperson said the crash was cleared and normal traffic flow restored by about 8.30am.
Police were taking statements from two young males at the scene.
