A high speed single vehicle crash has closed the southbound lanes of the Pacific Highway at Doyalson.
Emergency services were called to the scene near Wentworth Avenue just before 4.00am on Wednesday to find a car had crashed into a pole power.
Fire and Rescue says the car split in two on impact and the driver fled the scene.
A 22-year-old man has since been located at an address in San Remo - he's been taken to the John Hunter Hospital with suspected facial fractures.
The power pole has been compromised and is split at the base.
Energy repair crews have been called to the scene.
