Diversions are in place on Nelson Bay Road at Williamtown where a car has burst into flames after crashing into a power pole.
RFS crews were called to the scene just south of Cabbage Tree Road at about 4.30am on Wednesday to find the car well alight and the power pole also on fire.
The force of the crash has split the power pole at the base and Ausgrid has also been alerted.
Crews say the driver of the car was not with the vehicle when they arrived.
Police are also at the scene.
