It began with an attempt to park a car, initial police investigations suggest. It ended with damage to boats, cars and garages on opposite sides of a south coast street.

Emergency services responded about 8:30pm on Friday to reports of a crash on Robyn Road at Albion Park Rail, near Shellharbour.

Police say a 78-year-old man was pulling his Mitsubishi Pajero four-wheel-drive into a garage when he accelerated. He crashed through the rear wall of the garage and hit a boat on a trailer on the other side.

The trailer became lodged in the Mitsubishi, which reversed until it hit a Toyota Hilux and another boat on a trailer across the road.

Police believe this damage caused a second garage to collapse on top of the second boat, as well as a camper trailer.

The man then accelerated forward, hitting a Proton sedan and a Hyundai sedan. The boat trailer lodged in the Hyundai. The Mitsubishi came to a stop 200 metres away.

The driver was taken to Wollongong Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. His blood and urine will undergo mandatory drug and alcohol tests.

Whilst I defend any driver whom is fit to drive of any legal driving age, in this case the driver is not fit to drive.

Even in this case if it was a medical issue, then needs to be addressed and assessed before getting behind a wheel again

This could have been so much worse, luckily it wasnt
