Bit of a coincidence but we had some joyriders near our house last night/this morning.
Was about 2.00 in the morning, and we heard this:
THHHWAAAAK.....VRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGG.......THUD.......
..."AAAAAAIIIIGH".........................................BWWHUUUUMPH!
My dad already raced out of bed and was on the phone, calling the police and fire brigade, Im like "what the bloody hell was that!" and also staggers out of bed and gets some clothes on (cant wander outside nude (lol))......its about four minutes later and theres police arriving (bloody fast response that! but they are only down the road) and theres this car down the road, stoved in, upside down half hanging on a wall, the engine totally scrunched into the car, glass everywhere and another car totally written off and proper set ablaze in an inferno.
Apparently, my dad heard some screams and then people swearing and running off down the road. The windscreen had been pushed/kicked out and they had legged it into suburbia.
At first I didnt want to go outside, I thought Id be seeing dead bodies and people burning alive trapped in the car, I was really hesitant thinking "shit, what can I do, I dont even know basic first aid" do I wanna see this, people screaming and whatever?.......but as it turns out, when I got outside the joyriders were okay and had run off, the driver and passenger of the other car were walking wounded but shaken up really badly. Nobody was trapped and nobody was dead or ablaze. Its a bloody miracle, thats for sure.
The fire engine arrived and finished putting out the blaze and we all went back to bed. Now, it looks like nothing had ever happened aside from the bits of glass and some dry stone wall collapsing.
Sounds like it smashed the car almost head on, vrooomed up into the air, flipped around and laned upside down at an angle and tipped half up on the wall, and the whoomph was the hit car setting up after the people had got out luckily.
Crikey.
Makes you think dunnit.
