Traffic delay warnings at Port Botany after driver flees truck crash

Motorists have been warned to expect delays after a driver fled a truck crash in Sydney's south this morning.

Police said the Ford Transit table-top truck crashed into a power pole on Ricketty Road near Burrows Street in Mascot just after midnight, causing serious damage to the pole.

No-one was found at the scene and officers from Botany Bay Local Area Command are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.

Ausgrid power workers are currently repairing the pole but that work may run into peak hour and affect truck access to Port Botany.

Police are warning motorists to avoid the area and allow plenty of time for travel.
