Wild scenes have unfolded after a car smashed into a two-storey home in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, tearing the front of the building apart – while someone was inside.
Emergency services were called to Trouts Rd in Stafford Heights about 11am on Saturday after reports of a Subaru Forester had crashed into a home.
A Queensland Ambulance Service spokesperson said two patients were taken to hospital in a stable condition following a three-vehicle collision.
“An adult male who experienced a medical episode was transported to Royal Brisbane Hospital,” the spokesperson said.
“A mid-teenage male with neck injuries was transported to Prince Charles Hospital.”
Photos posted to social media from the scene show a car wedged in the wall of a two-storey home and a second vehicle with significant front end damage.
One woman said on Facebook that she was “going through at the time, narrowly missed by the car flooring it through opposite side of traffic. I hope everyone is ok.”
“So many people speed through this area!” another wrote on social media.
Another comment said: “doesn’t surprise me. The amount of drivers who speed through that round about without care or checking if other vehicles are about or are going around it.”
Maria Mikhaylak, who owns the home, told The Courier Mail a tenant was in his bedroom above the garage when the crash happened.
She said the scene was like something “out of a movie”.
”I was at a hairdresser’s appointment when I got a missed call from the tenant,” she said.
“When I heard the news, I was thinking, “Is everyone okay? Are they still alive?”
Queensland Police said they are investigating the incident and asked anyone who witnessed the crash or had vision to come forward.
