Emergency services rushed to a chaotic scene in a North Mackay street as a car allegedly evading police collided with a ute and a third car crashing into a power pole.

Emergency services rushed to chaotic scenes in North Mackay after two separate crashes happened within 20 minutes.

A police spokesman said a blue Mazda sedan failed to give way and allegedly hitting a ute at the intersection of Hamilton St and Gaylard St about 6.55pm Wednesday.

Police said the car allegedly evaded officers moments before the collision.

The spokesman said the occupants of the vehicle fled the scene before police arrived.

He said the blue Mazda had false number plates and police were investigating whether the car had been stolen.

Shortly after a Kia Rio crashed into a power pole within metres of the first crash near the intersection of Hamilton St and Graves St about 7.15pm.

The spokesman said the force of the crash knocked the pole to the ground.

A 26-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were taken to Mackay Base Hospital in a stable condition.

The woman was treated for leg injuries and a man was assessed for seatbelt injuries.

The spokesman said this type of incident was not uncommon as drivers get distracted by a crash and are then involved in one themselves.

No charges have been laid but police investigations are continuing.
