watching channel 10 news tonight they had a story about the winds we've been having in sydney this weekend, and unless im mistaken i think i saw a red sprinter under a fallen tree. did anyone else see this? it looked semi-decent aswell. (prior to the incident:)) just like colour coded bumpers and stuff.

i remember a couple of years back i was driving home from the beach and while on appin road a REALLY bad storm started it was so bad you couldnt even crawl along a 5kms/h so everyone was pulled over. on the other side of the road from where we pulled over a tree fell on an XF's bonnet, right near the windscreen. when the storm cleared up i got out and looked and the motor was half way into the ground i bet the people in the car bought a lottery ticket the next day.

Did you see the Excel on the news??? The passenger died as the tree fell on the car and took him out the worst...
They apparently missed their turn and started to reverse back so they could take the street that they wanted... At that point, a tree fell down on the car and crushed the car... I swear that the Excel was about 1 foot high... I'm surprised that the driver survived with no injuries...
And I send my wishes to the family and friends of that dude... He was the only casualty of the storms...
