While setting up for my astronomy night last night I was out in my back yard with my 18 y.o. son when all of a sudden we heard the sickening noise of a car crash right out front, but not a short 'Crash!' sound, this sounded like a car rolling over and over and metal and glass flying about and all those nightmarish sounds!
We raced through the house calling to my wife to call an Ambulance as we dashed out the front and saw nothing but heard someone screaming in pain!
But where were they?
Grabbing Torches we ran across the road to find the car in our neighbours front yard, demolished and steaming.
What a mess!
The young 18 y.o. girl (Probabtionary Licence
) was doing approximately 120 kph in a 50kph zone, lost control and ran straight through fences, snapping fence poles, trees, hit a ditch and become airborn, then spinning horizontally wrapped the car around more thick fence posts tearing them out of the ground and tangled in fencing wire and barbed wire.
The passenger got out the back door and dragged her out the back door too. The other doors wouldn't open.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, both were put in Neckbraces by emergency services and taken away by ambulance.
Today I walked over and snapped some pics.
This first pic is taken from where she was driving, showing were they drove off the road (see tyre marks in the grass) through the fences and trees. I marked the Ditch which sent them airborn. Parts of the front of the car are still in the ditch and you can see where they ended up.
2nd Pic shows some of the damage to both car and fences.
The Good news is that both the girl and her passenger came back today to have the car picked up and they seemed OK.
