It happened in the northbound lanes of Route 130 near Tenby Chase Drive at 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
Police say a woman in her 30s lost control of her vehicle and slammed into two utility poles.
Those poles had transformers attached.
One of them began to leak fluid, which caused a hazmat situation due to the chemicals inside.
PSE&G crews were on the scene surveying the damage and beginning to make repairs.
The woman suffered minor injuries.
There was no immediate word if she will face any charges.
