Speeding car crashes into Adelaide home as driver flees

A speeding car has been caught on camera spectacularly flying through the air and crashing into the front of a house.

The Holden Statesman flew into the front bedroom of a home in Christies Beach, in Adelaide’s south-west, about 8pm Saturday. 

The car was allegedly travelling at more than 80km/h when the driver lost control and crashed into the home, before fleeing the scene on foot and leaving a passenger behind, 7 News reported. 

Witnesses said the driver was doing burn-outs in the vehicle moments before flying onto a curb and destroying the house.

‘It feels like something in a movie, the way the car went into the air,’ witness Melanie Price told the network. 

Another witness Irene Murphy said: ‘To be honest I thought something blew up … he’s (the driver) an idiot as far as I’m concerned.’ 

The owners of the property live overseas and its last tenants moved out two weeks ago, according to 7 News.

The house was open for an inspection only hours before the Holden flew through its front bedroom.
