Fireball Carnage on Orrong Road

[zanda]

did anyone else see that car on Orrong Road last night? near Archer Street?

about 8:20, I drove past and the FESA people were just rocking up. I think the police closed the westbound lanes.

not sure if anyone was inside the thing, but it had hit a tree and the fire was so intense I couldnt see inside the car..flames about 20ft high.

Just wondering if there were people in it or if was stolen and torched.

Scary either way..

was it raining zanda?

i saw a few cars on the way home from perth lastnight spun out on the side of the roads etc etc...

[zanda]

nah - but it had been. the roads were wet though.

The impact at the front of the car didnt seem that extreme (though you never know with a volvo), such that you might expect with a stolen car that has lost it and then been torched..

..which is what made me think that they'd ruptured a fuel line or something...

[fane]

pretty nasty sounding.... sounds like you werent far away from the action...

i saw a car that ruptured a fuel line in mandurah at the lights and the forum about a year ago thankfully all the people in the car got out in time but the were crying a pretty stirred up....

many people standing around near the accident...? possibly driver etc? or was it pretty empty... (maybe didnt get out)

[zanda]

nobody within cooey, unless they were inside the car...

if they were then they'll be sifting dental records...

I couldnt even see the seat headrest-bolster.

I went through archer st lights on orrong rd at about 12pm Saturday and there was major carnage then too!

Magna had decided to turn across traffic there and said good bye to most of its front end. Looked messy.

Ambo's n cops everywhere.

Not a good weekend for that part of town it seems.
