HOME and Away star Todd Lasance was taken to Sydney's Royal North Shore hospital after being involved in a serious car accident at the weekend.

The young actor, 23, was driving on Warringah Rd, Forestville, on Sunday when he collided with a Honda Civic being driven by an 80-year-old woman.

Lasance and his passenger, a 21-year-old woman, had to be freed from the actor's Toyota Supra sports car by a rescue team before being taken to hospital by ambulance.

The elderly driver was also temporarily trapped in her vehicle and suffered serious injuries.

According to initial police reports, the woman was allegedly making an improper right turn off the busy road into Darley St, causing Lasance, who was travelling west, to collide with her car.

"The driver of the Toyota suffered bruising and soreness to his chest and minor cuts to his hand, while the passenger was reportedly in a serious condition," Inspector Bob Bell told Confidential yesterday.

Lasance, who shares an apartment in the beachside suburb of Collaroy with his Home and Away colleague Lincoln Lewis, was in the studio filming yesterday and not available for comment.

A spokesman for the Seven network was keen to play down the accident.

"Todd is fine and back at work on the Home and Away set this week," the spokesman said.

The self-confessed "turbo-lover" bought the imported Toyota Supra - the "car of his dreams" - at the end of last year.

"I am going to work on it and make it absolutely, ridiculously fast," Lasance is quoted on the Home and Away website in talking of his car.

So a young person in a japanese high performance car has an accident and isn't labeled a hoon by the media or accused of racing?

I'm confused :whistling:

well by the sound of it he wasnt at fault so why should he be?

because the media is the media and he was driving a turbo import, whether he was in the wrong or not is irrelevant.

geez. :whistling:

Vtec Yo

But on a serious note at that last comment with "I am going to work on it and make it absolutely, ridiculously fast," and still not a hoon :domokun:

maybe he was only going to use that speed legally, having a very fast car does not make you a hoon. its what you do with it that does.

who gives a fig what the media thinks or tries to portray, if hoons are in the wrong go to town on em, if they get involved in someones elses bad driving leave em alone

lol at hese comments.. lock him up cause he's in home and away lol..

and you never know what that civic had under the hood.. maybe its a played down version of a race.. and the old lady took the latter option of being a 'silly mistake'...

I guess in a way i kinda agree that yes if it was any of us it'd be "another hoon related incident" and we'd get our cars crushed or something.

But in my other frame of mind, if we're in an accident, and its NOT our fault, and we can clearly prove that to the media then we shouldn't be punished, and maybe that's what he's done?

According to initial police reports, the woman was allegedly making an improper right turn off the busy road into Darley St, causing Lasance, who was travelling west, to collide with her car.

Innocent young hoon attacked by elderly right turning road raging street racer...could this be the begining of nana-geddon.

haha i like the new directions of this thread :D

maybe nanna couldn't carry enough corner speed in her drift as that seems to be a common problem with fwd drifters?

I didnt sleep at all last night. this has really upset me.

how can an actor get away with such out right law breaking behaviour.

I think you should write a letter to your local newspaper expressing your dissatisfaction with the situation, and how it's affected your ability to pick up your pension cheque, which is a disgrace in itself given how long you were in the workforce supporting this country and you even fought in two wars dammit

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
