Bad Smash on Union Road

jaysay · 22-05-2009, 10:23

Just heard there's been a very bad smash outside he old Post Office near the Civic Theatre on Union Road Ossy, between a car and a motor bike, which demolished the post box and the car, the person that told me says there could have been very serious injury

A postbox takes some demolishing, sounds like excessive speeding, I hope there are no serious injuries.

I think a postbox would fall over if you hit it at 10 mph

Thank god it was only a postbox the car was in collision with and not a pedestrian. I wonder how the driver has managed to mount the kerb?

Its good to see the biker on his feet.

What happened to the back end? take it he spun it as well looking at them pics, or there was another vehicle involved

Reece got there at 8am (he'd just got off the bus to go to school) so it must have happened just before 8

There is not a lot under the post box, it would only need a little nudge. That post box looks like it is cast iron so there is a lot of weight above the ground and a small lump of concrete inder ground.
