In the early hours of the morning, a rideshare driver experienced a shocking turn of events when his vehicle was stolen immediately after he dropped off a passenger on Peachey Road in Davoren Park. Just after 1 a.m., a man threatened the driver and sped away in the sedan.
Approximately 30 minutes later, the stolen car was spotted navigating Hancock Road in Redwood Park. The situation took a dramatic turn when it crashed spectacularly through a roundabout.
CCTV footage captured the dramatic moment as the car flipped, sending sparks flying as it slid along the roadway.
Despite the chaotic scene, the driver managed to emerge from the wreckage and, to the astonishment of bystanders, nonchalantly walked away. Witnesses, who rushed to offer assistance, were left speechless by his calm demeanor.
“How can you be so casual about something that almost killed you or somebody else?” one witness expressed to 9News, reflecting the disbelief shared by those present.
The man, who is described as being between 35 to 45 years old with scruffy brown hair and a beard, has not been found by police.
The driver who had his car stolen was uninjured, although he was badly shaken up.
“They’re doing us a favour at the end of the day, they’re trying to get us home safely,” the witness said.
“And they go and do that, it’s actually pretty pathetic.”
