LUCKY ESCAPE: Driver escapes serious injury after crashing through two Albany Highway properties

A man in his 20s walked away from a crash which left his Ford Falcon on top of another vehicle at an Albany home in the early hours of Sunday. The crash left a trail of damage more than 50m long through two properties near the intersection of Albany Highway and Wellington Street in Mt Melville. The blue Falcon crashed through through a pedestrian rail, two fences, a hedge and a set of veranda stairs on neighbouring properties. It destroyed a carport on the second property and came to rest on top of a four-wheel-drive. A St John Ambulance spokesman said the driver was sitting down after freeing himself from the Falcon when paramedics arrived at the scene. He was taken to Albany Health Campus. SES volunteers used acrow props and made temporary repairs to make the properties safer before leaving at 4.40am. Police were yet to lay charges over the crash on Monday afternoon.
