Car slams into home after failing to negotiate bend on Union Road

Emergency services were called to the Union Road house, west of Burrows Road, about 8pm on Wednesday.

The Toyota Yarris hit a brick wall and beam of the home’s garage, near the front door.

A structural engineer was brought in to ensure the home was safe.

The residents remained at the property.

Sergeant Nick Fahy said police would investigate whether a medical condition led to the crash.

No-one was hurt in the incident.

“It appears alcohol and speed were not a factor,” he said.

“The vehicle approached a slight bend, failed to negotiate the bend, and then entered the front yard of the house.

“It impact with a parked vehicle in that yard and then continued to the front of the house, causing extensive damage to the garage door and brick work.”
