Dash-cam captures horror crash
First on 7: A car-mounted camera has captured the moment an accused drunk driver walked away from a crash following a high speed chase.
After reaching speeds of 200 kilometres an hour the man lost control as he turned the wrong way down a ramp, right into the path of a young family.
Glenn Cowell was driving with his family inside the car – but the only hint of a car hurtling towards him was the sudden flash of a brake light hurtling towards him.
Mr Cowell rushed to help the 26-year-old man, who asked him to ‘turn the lights off and not to ring the police’.
Police allege the driver was drunk and had been doing 200km/h between Wagga and Goulburn. He was chased intermittently by police before careering over an embankment, even without headlights on.
Mr Cowell added: “He started getting abusive and he started running around the car looking for other clothes and saying there was two people in the car."
