Four people have been hospitalized after a heavy accident on a suburban street southwest of Brisbane.
Police are now investigating whether dangerous driving played a role in the overnight collision as videos surface on social media.
A video captured minutes before the accident showed burns stopping traffic.
The occupants of the car were lucky to be alive after it crashed into the back of a parked refrigerated truck at around 11pm last night.
Three 20-year-olds and a teenager were trapped inside, and emergency services worked to get them out when it caught fire.
They were treated at the scene for serious injuries before being rushed to hospital.
Local man Gurvail Singh’s truck was hit and he doesn’t know if it can be fixed.
“The car was on fire, the entire front end is damaged and the airbags were open,” he said.
Neighbor Tony Williams and his wife rushed to help.
“My wife, she actually just bought a fire extinguisher yesterday, so she ran over there and gave it to the police and they put the fire out,” he said.
Debris remains strewn across the road and skid marks show the path the car took.
The forensic accident unit is now investigating whether dangerous driving played a role in the terrifying crash.
