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 hope first and foremost that it wasn't anyone here. and that the poor guy doesn't lose his legs.

[gatty]

hmm, i didn't see this on the news - hope he suffers no long term injury - but also hope it doesn't get too much press!

[SKYLVIA]

hmmm i thought it would be all over the news, where abouts did this crash take place? and was the broken leg the only injury? sounds like it wouldve done more damage than that. hope hes ok

[sammus]

I thought for a minute there it was DRIVER as in the r34 gtt owner on these forums.

bad news anyhow.

[Sinista32]

Odds are we do know him. Any one able to find out more ?

[Jonneh Bravo]

i heard about this it is terrible. not what anyone needed.

[SKYLVIA]

mmm unless he was from out of town. which paper/site was this article in anyway?

[choochoobaa]

[Driver]

[SupaFly Skyline]

thata really bad, firstly i hope that it wasnt anyone here, but i also hope that whoever it was and his mate are gonna be alright

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...

[GTS_DUY]

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

[leech_]

its not that gold one with the sparkly paint is it and the full body kit ??

[Stevie]

I dont know any two tone 33's with gold wheels... Surely someone knows him???

Hopefully the guys okay and I hope the telegraph doesnt run another killer skyline campaign...

[Veilside R33]

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.

[daler32]

it wasnt ygt25t cos i seen that 33 on the gold coast today

[SKYLVIA]

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

thats exactly what i thought, infact i was thinking id hear it on the news or see it in the paper under very similar headlines but nothing as yet.

[johnnyr31]

heard this on the cop scanner just after it happened about 4 30 am we just got back from a drive out that way
