3 CRASHES, 8 DAYS By THERESE HENKIN
World class P23
A
car carrying three teen boys which lost control along Mellons Bay Road last week narrowly missed pedestrians and wrote off two cars. Some Mellons Bay Road residents say frustration and fear for pedestrian safety is at an all-time high following the crash which took place at around 8.15pm on Tuesday, October 3. This is one of three crashes on Mellons Bay Road in eight days, with a collision just days before, and a suspected drink driving accident on Saturday night.

In Tuesday’s crash the driver spun out into a parked car, which was thrown airborne into a power pole, before the vehicle hit another parked car further down the street. There were no serious injuries, but five pedestrians witnessed the crash. Police and emergency services responded to the accident. The incident has rattled the street’s residents who believe traffic-calming measures are urgently needed. “We didn’t see the car, but you just knew there was an accident about to happen because all we heard was a car screeching down the road,” says
Bev Mallowes who witnessed the second crash. “A friend and I had just walked out of my son David’s driveway, and we were standing on the footpath chatting. My car was right in front of us, and Jenny’s car was about two parks down. “Instinct told us to run, and we did. We were terrified because you know that no matter how fast you run, you don’t know where the car is going to end up so you just have to run and hope for the best,” she says. Bev’s son, David Mallowes, says Tuesday’s accident is one of a growing number of speed-related inci-
dents along Mellons Bay Road in recent months. “Just last week there was a dramatic collision on the corner of Mellons Bay Road and Beach Road, and I know of several other cars that have spun out at that very corner in the last few months,” he says. “On an afternoon three months ago, two cars racing down Mellons Bay Road past the school ricocheted off each other with one taking out a pole and transformer.” He says residents are also concerned for their safety after two near misses of pedestrians went unreported in the past two months. ➤ Turn to Page 5
