A DRIVER was trapped in the wreckage of his car for more than an hour today in Canberra as emergency crews cut the roof off the vehicle to free him.

The man, aged in his 20s, suffered a broken leg after his Nissan Skyline was wrapped around a light pole about 5am (AEDT).

A male passenger was treated at the scene for minor injuries before both men were taken to Canberra Hospital.

It took almost an hour to remove the driver from the vehicle because his legs were trapped, a spokesman for the ACT Emergency Services Authority said.

A spokesman for the Australian Federal Police's ACT division said the accident was under investigation and the driver would be tested for alcohol levels when his condition permitted.

No other vehicle was involved in the accident.

Hope it wasnt anyone here!

I'm suprised that the media bandwagon hasn't jumped right back onto the whole "killer Skyline" thing or the "reckless P plater" thing to bring us more coverage of the crash...It seems that everyone knows everyone,or someone who does,in Canberra-it's a suprise that we haven't found out which car/driver it was.Whilst I wouldn't wish ill of anyone injured in any car crash,if the small bit of media we've heard holds any truth about the alcohol level of the driver,well...

page seven of the canberra times...

it's a two tone series I 33, gold(ish) wheels from what i saw in the photo. wasn't YGT25T was it? said the driver was a 25yr old from dunlop, cause of the crash was alcohol and speed, going too quickly around a corner.

the car wrapped itself on a wooden electrical pole on the center pillar driver's side, firies cut off the roof of the car

saw the pic: i think its pretty much silver, not a whole done to it from the looks, body is stock and nothing really special, although it now has a side-mount telegraph pole.

i hav'nt seen it before and i think i can safely say its none of us.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
