Some news story about Nissan crashing into factory...

[Jamezilla]

I've been looking for more info on this all day - to no avail...

On the radio news this morning there was a story of a 'young man' driving a 'Nissan sportscar' and crashing at high speed - through a factory - taking out lights and factory stuff and whatnot - landing on its wheels and the guy getting out with na'er a scratch. Was in Scoresby.

Police were amazed he was so unhurt and were 'discussing' it with the driver.

Anyone else heard it or got any more info?

cant say i have but sounds interesting

[Guest RedLineGTR]

maybe he thought they had a drive through service. Will see if i find anything of the story

[NS2500]

Which radio station were you listening to?

[Horus]

-young driver

-driving a nissan sportscar

-crashes and tears shit up

.....and there is no mention of it on the news?

smells like bullshit to me so far

[Jamezilla]

Yeah - is weird. I would have thought it would at least be in the AAP news briefs... they said it at every news from 7.30am onwards.

Perhaps it was some strange dream...

Surely someone else here listens to the radio news in the morning? Was Nova100.

[Cortide]

yeah i heard it as well, kinda strange i just dismissed it as bs as they said it was a nissan sportscar... i was thinking, well which one... if someone did a little research they could pretty easily identify it, if they actually saw it. They could well have been talking about a pulsar or a maxima as they are *sporty*

i didn't do jack, so yeah just appeared.

maybe play with your profile/control panel, may update it or something

[Husky33]

Yeah it was a " Young driver in a high powered Nissan twin turbo 300ZX sportscar"...

Apparently he was excessively speeding and lost it, hit the curb and flew into the air, crashing right through the second story of a factory. He walked away from it but unfortunately his car didn't......and we wonder why cops pick on import drivers, cause of IDIOTS like this!!!

In order for the pics to show as a link under your username, you need to make sure it's a 'personal gallery'

If you have any more q's, please do it via PM or start a new thread.

was just on 9's news

black 300zx 25yr old i believe

200km/hr plus "blacked out" off kerb into factory.

btw sorry sky031

Mate of mine just happen to hear it on the radio scanner after it happened

ill get him to post his views cos he went past there to have a looksie

[GT-spec15]

yeah guys i was there....

went after mate who has a scanner rang me and told me where it was

basically a black 300zx TT was flying down the street at some ridiculous speed, crashed up the gutter, got massively airborne off a grassy hill in the factory's front garden, clipped the top of the office-level roof (a good 4m off the grass)

it then continued another 5 or 6m through the air and slammed through the corrugated sheetmetal wall of the wharehouse itself, continuing its flight path, hitting roof lighting, narrowly scraping massive steel pillars, and amazingly clearing all the heavy machinery on the floor that woulda made the landing nasty.

it eventually then fairly neatly crash landed in surprisingly good shape, the driver sustained just a few bruises really.....

the interesting thing is we heard from the 1st cop on the scene that there seems to have been a passenger in the car who fled the scene, as police dogs tracked a scent through the factory that led to a broken open side door....

freaky stuff !!!

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Thanks for the Update

[GT-spec15]

its crazy...if u saw the scene, and the 'flight path' that this thing took, u would not believe a car could go that far and that high.....

[xRHETTx]

crazy, i always thought 300zx's would fly pretty well.

I heard on the news he was going at least 200km/h and after he crashed he "allegedly" fled the scene of the accident.

Maybe he was hoping that no one would notice and he could come back later and pick his car up?

boats can fly :shocked:

any link to a news storey or pics?
