Driver interviewed after tunnel crash

FOUR people were injured after being hit by a utility as they walked through the Northbridge Tunnel in East Perth early today.

Police said the four were the driver and three passengers in a Nissan Skyline that had hit the wall of the eastbound lane.

They had left the car and were walking out of the tunnel when they were hit by a white Holden Commodore utility.

The incident happened about 4.30am.

Police said none of the four was seriously hurt.

One was found in bushes near the tunnel exit with back injuries, another had a broken ankle.

A man, believed to be the driver of the utility that stopped on the Graham farmer Freeway, was being interviewed by police.

How did the commodore ute manage to clean them up? they would have been walking in the emergency lane surely.

And how do you hit the wall in the tunnell? They were either doing some sort of speed, somebody forced them off the road (not necesarily on purpose but a blind lane change), or somebody left something on the road (fallen off/out of a car). Either way something is wrong!

Maybe they walked out in the direction of the traffic? Would have been dumb, dumb, dumb though.

Roads were quite slippery this morning...maybe that was one factor in the initial crash? Still the tunnel is supposed to be dry inside right?

[viet_boi]

tunnel = wet this morning

friends in car = would show off

drop a gear and plant it to hear the sound of zorst in tunnel, wheel spin, wall grinding.

never know..could be?

the tunnel is hardly ever dry when its been raining coz it leaks

[stR33ter]

leaky tunnel got nothing to do with rain

it a good couple meters below the ground water level

The people in the Skyline could have been drunk, would explain the initial crash and if they walked into the traffic, could also be alcohol...

Of course it had to be a Skyline...

[L-Boyd]

well... They should of learn to control and driver better??

[Nic_A31]

This got anything to do with those few panel's missing off the walls and barrier damage? Or was that from the Monaro/Crumpledoor crash a few weeks ago?

[Angr33_Sparcorella]

geez thats horrible. But why were they walking 'away' from the car....something sounds dodgy

[RedLineFeva]

i went thru the tunnel one day and a lady was standing out here car that had broken down. the lights on the roof where flashing ambar and a PA system was telling her to get back into her car. it was really loud and i could easily hear it in my car. i don't think your alound to walk or ride a bike through the tunnel, someone correct me if i'm wrong.

[fourdoorlove]

your right, there are no footpaths leading into or out of the graham farmer tunnel, only the emergency stopping lane on either side..

[GODZ1LLA]

Hope they are ok.....

No one really deserves to crash unless they are acting stupid and showing off...

Funny how people ... namely most of you ... make comments that have no foundation in fact. You read some news article that is at best void of any fact or detail such as how the initial accident occurred and you lot of brainstrusts jump to the conclusion that the driver was some moron hoon speeding and driving with reckless abandon. I know the driver of the Skyline and besides being a top bloke he's a damn good driver who has gone through advanced driver training and has experience in rally driving ... he no doubt has better skills than most of you lot combined. Grow up people, accidents happen even to the best of drivers. The police are not looking to charge the Skyline driver with ANYTHING but the guy in the ute is facing a number of serious charges which could result in a prison sentence. BTW don't believe everything you read in the press because there was only one passenger in the Skyline not 3. One more thing when you moan about some Skyline hoons giving everyone else a bad name you moan about the fact you're all the victims of stereotyping ... how is it any different if you come to a conclusion based on little or no facts that the driver in this case was a hoon or lacked the skill to drive that car? Like I said before, grow up and have the sense to make a comment based on FACTS, or don't make a comment at all.

That is fair enough but I think we'd be interested in how he crashed in the tunnel...call it a lesson learned?
