Road Closures in Newmarket
22 March 2016
Fire crews work to free occupants: the car fell 6 levels into York Street
The concrete buttress fell with the car into the street
Our callout tonight was the result of a car plunging 6 levels from a Newmarket car park into York Street. The car swept away a concrete buttress in the car park before smashing through the railings. As it fell it hit a car parked on York Street - its two occupants escaped injury. The airborne car hit the road and flipped over, landing upside down, trapping two people in the crushed vehicle. Firefighters cut out them out and they were taken to hospital with serious injuries. Members assisted with road closures in Khyber Pass Road and Teed Street and provided lighting. Other members attended a second call at the same time, to a fire in a motel in Mt Wellington.
