Dramatic Rescue Of Woman After S-U-V Flips And Catches Fire










A dramatic rescue early morning after an S-U-V went out of control on Chesley Drive near the ramp onto the Harbour Bridge, flipped over and caught fire.

A woman was taken to hospital for treatment of burns. A man who was driving managed to get out. He suffered just minor burns but the woman, who was the passenger, was caught inside and she sustained more serious burns.

A passing truck driver saw what had happened and stopped and kicking the glass of the S-U-V out to bring the woman to safety.

Police believe speed and alcohol may have caused this crash to take place.
