“There was such a loud
noise as the two cars
collided,” the Sewell
Street resident told The
Weekly Times.
“She didn’t stop, but
didn’t even know she
was at fault, getting out
of her car, not asking if
the other driver was OK,
but demanding to know
why he didn’t give way.

Ryde’s multi-accident Black Spot
BY OUR MOTORING EDITOR
Two serious car accidents in as many weeks
has angered residents living near the intersection
of Shepherd and Sewell Streets in
Ryde.
Last week a man cheated death in his blue
Yaris after a 32-year-old woman travelling
west on Sewell Street in a Mercedes AMG C63
sedan, ignored ‘Give Way’ signs on both sides
before entering the intersection.
“He told her she was an
idiot and pointed towards
the ‘Give Way’ signs.”
The resident said another
“more serious accident”
happened the
previous week after another
driver didn’t give
way as required from
Sewell Street.
“The debris from that
accident is still fresh on
the side of road. Someone
will be killed soon if
Someone will be killed soon, say locals
the accidents happen at
this rate,” the resident
said.
Another resident, from
Shepherd Street said:
“This place is a death
trap and (Ryde) council
is aware of it. We need
something done now to
avoid any unnecessary
deaths and not when it’s
too late.”
The Mercedes sustained
minor damage
after spinning towards a
telegraph pole, narrowly
missing it.
The driver of the mangled
Yaris ended up on
a grassed area to the
right of Shepherd Street,
missing a parked car on
the way.
Both drivers were fortunately
able to walk from
their cars, albeit dazed,
with their cars towed
away.
At-fault driver won’t get
a fine or lose points
TWT SPECIAL REPORT
Emergency services - including the
fire brigade ambulance and two local
police ocers attended the scene of
last week’s smash.
But in an increasingly familiar scenario,
the Mercedes driver in last week’s
accident - understood to be a female
from Rhodes - won’t lose a point or a
dollar after breaching road rules.
NSW authorities are happy to extract
hundreds of dollars and handfuls of
demerit points from hard-working Australians,
courtesy of sneaky, revenueraising
eorts like mobile speed camera
operator hiding in bushes.
But drivers known to have been negligent
or reckless are o limits police at
the scene said, unless a driver is suspected
of being under the inuence of
alcohol or drugs; refuses to exchange
insurance details, or someone is killed
or injured.
The NSW Police accident protocols
were introduced in 2014 to reduce police
workloads and red tape meant they
weren’t required to investigate the accident.
Despite the potential of serious injury
or fatality in last week’s crash, police attending
said they also weren’t required
to apportion blame to either driver.
he ocers also did not test either
driver for drug and alcohol.
Inaction by police during accidents
where a driver is clearly at fault, has
recently been a source of public angst.
Last weekend it was reported the
driver responsible for serious headon
collision with a Mercedes 4WD, in
which a Sydney family was travelling to
the south coast, would not be investigated.
Police weren’t required after Boost
Mobile CEO, Paul O’Neile, his wife and
three teenage children survived the
January 3 horror crash at Swanhaven
despite their vehicle being irreparably
crushed.
