A woman has survived a car crash into a power pole with only minor injuries, despite the car being half-suspended off the ground.
Police and paramedics were called to Harbour Rd, North Mackay, south of the BP at 3.45am.
A Queensland Ambulance spokeswoman said the driver, a woman in her 30s, was not seriously injured in the crash and was transported to Mackay Base Hospital.
Queensland Police are still on scene waiting for Ergon to arrive, as the pole is now angled causing a potential safety hazard.
One lane is expected to be closed while the pole and surrounding wires are examined, and the car removed, according to police.
A police spokesman said people should avoid the area if possible, and the clean up is expected to take an hour.
