🔮 Aerial vision from the scene shows the front of a white sedan had been ripped off before the car eventually came to a standstill in the westbound lanes of South St. The car's engine was ejected in the smash, landing 50 metres away on the opposite side of the six-lane road. Another black van 90 metres further down the road has a smashed windscreen and a metal road sign lodged in its bonnet. Debris could be seen scattered through all lanes of traffic on South Street, which was closed westbound between Vahland Ave and Darian Drive. Drivers were advised to seek an alternative route as police directed traffic at the busy intersection. Neighbourhood 'shaken' Jessica Humble said she heard what sounded like "a really bad crash" as she was leaving her home around 11am. "I just heard loads of police sirens, and then all of a sudden it was just like bang bang bang, really loud," she said.
