Goulburn's NSW Fire and Rescue incident controller, Alex Thrower,* said the man, aged in his late twenties extricated himself from the vehicle and wasn't injured.

However an ambulance crew conveyed him to Goulburn Base Hospital for precautionary assessment. The vehicle was towed from the scene.

Traffic wasn't affected by the crash.

Also at 6pm Thursday, NSW Fire and Rescue attended arcing powerlines near the corner of Lisgar and Marys Streets.

Mr Thrower said the combination of rain and mud caused the line to fall. Essential Energy isolated power to the area and repaired the line.

Goulburn airport recorded 22mm from 5pm Thursday, March 14 to 2.30am Friday, March 15, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
