The force of the crash has caused the power poles to be unstable and need urgent replacing.

Ausgrid have advised police the normally busy Victoria Street shopping centre will need to be isolated while the power poles are replaced.

As a result, police have created traffic diversions at the intersection of the Central Coast Highway and Althorp Street, and the intersection of Central Coast Highway and Adelaide Street.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area while the road remains closed or seek alternative routes.

Anyone with information about the incident or the vehicle is urged to come forward.

Inquiries continue.
