Driver escapes harm after out-of-control car slams into Duncraig home on Iolanthe Drive

A driver had a lucky escape after somehow wedging his car sideways between two walls at a suburban disability support centre.

The car crashed late on Thursday night into the Rocky Bay Duncraig facility but it wasn’t until late Friday afternoon that the Hyundai Sante Fe was retrieved from the crevice between the facility and its retaining wall.

The driver, a man in his 40s, was not injured and had been able to free himself from the wreckage unassisted shortly after the late night crash. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances.

It’s understood the car struck the side of a bedroom where a young man was sleeping at the time.

Neighbours told PerthNow they heard a “loud bang” but it wasn’t until Friday morning they realised the source.

It took a towing company about 20 minutes on Friday afternoon to remove the car, with a technician scoring the difficulty a nine out of 10.

Rocky Bay confirmed no one was injured and it was working with relevant authorities in the aftermath.

“There were no injuries to customers or staff, and all individuals are safe and accounted for,” the facility said in a statement.

“Our immediate focus is the safety and well being of the people who live and work at the home.

“As this is an active matter, Rocky Bay is unable to provide further detail at this time.”

Anyone with CCTV or dash-cam vision from the area about the time of the crash is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
