Four people have had a lucky escape from serious injury and a P-Plater has been fined following a crash at Raymond Terrace on Wednesday night.

Police say a Nissan X-Trail was travelling southbound on the Pacific Highway just before midnight when the driver swerved to avoid a slow moving vehicle and crashed at high speed into the cable barrier on the median strip.

It's believed the car overturned before coming to rest on it's wheels.

Two men and two women were taken to hospital as a precaution.

Meanwhile a 19-year-old man has been fined $544 and lost 3 demerit points after speeding through the crash scene at more than 100 km/hr.
