Police allege an unlicensed driver slammed a Holden into the entry sign of a city shopping complex after failing to stop for officers and losing control while overtaking in a bus lane.
Photos have emerged showing the badly damaged Commodore essentially wrapped around the sign.
The woman, aged 20, was found to be carrying a “clear bag of a crystal substance in a handbag” after the crash at Carrara on Monday night, Gold Coast police have alleged.
The woman was travelling along Nielsens Rd just before the crash about 9.40pm.
Police believe she did not pull over for police officers as required before “overtaking vehicles in a bus lane prior to hitting a pole”.
“There appears to be no pursuit of the vehicle after it failed to stop for police.”
The crash left the Boonooroo Park Shopping Centre sign at the intersection of Coelia Crt and Nielsens Rd badly damaged. Photos show tyre marks crossing a footpath.
The woman was taken to Gold Coast University Hospital for observation.
Queensland Ambulance Service stated Paramedics transported her in a stable condition.
The Holden Commodore is not listed as stolen, police said.
Police investigations were ongoing on Tuesday morning and no one had been charged.
