A motorist in Adelaide caused a dramatic scene by crashing into several parked cars before her own vehicle overturned.

The driver managed to extricate herself from the overturned car, but the incident left a family grappling with the loss of three vehicles due to the wreckage.

“I noticed a woman crawling out of her car, yelling that her knee was in pain,” recounted one witness.

The crash inflicted extensive damage on the parked cars, all of which were owned by the same family.

“We just saw a car flipped over right there on the street, and it was truly terrifying,” shared Raytheon Labios, one of those affected.

The damaged vehicles included two cars and a work truck, two of which have been rendered undriveable. 

“Now I have to catch a hitch with my dad to work,” Lambios said.

The 47-year-old driver was monitored in hospital last night and was tested for drug and alcohol use.
