Default ?Ford Suicide Bomber?

One of those cases of "I wish I had my camera!"...

My brother-in-law and I were off to the local Bunnings, and turning right past the local Holden dealership, we see an EA Falcon which somehow has maybe gone halfway around the corner, then gone straight ahead, through the concrete posts protecting the cars, hit an Ashtray (oops Astra) head-on and damaged quite a few other new Holdens... He must have been fair-flying, the Falcon was almost a full car length into the dealership, and the Astra was quite badly damaged, the other cars only seemed to have minor damage... pretty funny all the same, driver appeared unhurt, but having a deep conversation with a couple of police officers.

Sounds like the Holden that did the same thing last year. Some people just shouldn't be on the roads..

Sounds like the steering may have failed in some way.
