Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said emergency services were called to the scene on MacLaggan St in central Dunedin about 4.55pm yesterday.
"A 33-year-old male has been driving down MacLaggan St when another vehicle, driven by a 21-year-old male, has overtaken him at around 80km/h."
He said the overtaking driver "then lost control on a bend in the road, causing the vehicle to spin 180-degrees before it ended up wrapping itself around a power pole".
Snr Sgt Bond said no alcohol was involved, but the driver was due in court today on dangerous driving charges.
One person was taken to Dunedin Hospital with minor injuries following the crash.
The road was closed for a time but has since reopened.
