Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
It started leaking oil so the fire brigade came out to sweep it up with sand. I’d already called 000 and the Ambos had already arrived before I write the above comment btw
The cops are slow as usual, but they just called to get further info. The ambos arrived first and they’re still here, I overheard them saying they’re waiting for police
The dude driving the car rear ended a van that’s parked across the road, nobody was in it luckily, and the driver seemed fine, just a bit dazed
Had something similar happen outside my place a few days ago. The bloke over the road had his legally parked bmw flipped clean across the street into the street tree outside my house by a carful of idiots driving too fast through the roundabout in the rain. Horrible noise, the death throes of beautiful engineering. Again, thank goodness, no one was hurt.
Jesus Christ that sounds horrific… This wasn’t that bad, seems to have been fairly low speed, but it was freaky to witness
All is well that ends well. No one hurt - the only real damage was to the cars and the insurance companies. I agree it can be freaky to see what really happens when a small error of judgement is made on the road. Then you see bad behaviour on the freeway/main roads and wonder when they’ll fail to get lucky.
