Tesla driver crashes in Sydney before giving witnesses the finger

A Tesla crash has sparked the fury of locals after it ran onto the sidewalk on a busy city street, with concerns that speeding in the area could end with someone being killed.

The car was allegedly traveling at “high speed” on Bowman Street, Pyrmont, in Sydney’s city center, when the dramatic accident occurred on Wednesday.

The Tesla allegedly went up the sidewalk and traveled to a park before returning to the street, according to witnesses.

“He’s so lucky someone wasn’t hurt,” a witness said.

Another wrote on social media that ‘Tesla owner pointed finger at me while police questioned me!’

Witnesses said the car (pictured) was allegedly traveling at over 100 km/h before crashing

“There are so many pedestrians, it’s school holidays and there’s a very busy park next door.”

Another witness described how the Tesla pulled out another car that was turning into the street.

“He didn’t see the car fly so he tried to turn onto Bowman Street,” said local Tobias Goodman.

“The impact of the two cars sent the Tesla flying, struck two poles and drifted into the street and struck another car.

They left him in pieces.

NSW Police are currently investigating after they were called to the scene following reports of a two-vehicle crash between a Tesla and a Mazda 3.

“A crime scene has been established and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident are continuing,” police said.

The rear of the car (pictured) was also badly damaged in the accident in the Pyrmont area of ​​Sydney.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident, and police questioned the driver of the Tesla.

The Tesla driver, believed to be in his 30s, was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital with minor injuries in stable condition, while the Mazda 3 driver, also in his 30s, was uninjured.

The accident has drawn the ire of those who live in the area, who said they are afraid to cross the street, which is often used as a thoroughfare for speeding cars.

“I’ve seen so many dangerous moments with so many cars speeding up there, it’s a straight road and people think it’s okay to slow down.”

“But unfortunately it’s a highly densely populated area with skyscrapers,” said local woman Tessa Goodman.

“I have a four-year-old boy, we cross the street to go to the pool, to go to the cafe, to go to the park, we are constantly crossing.”

Goodman said the “most disturbing” part of the accident is that he and other locals have contacted the council to try to get speed bumps and other deterrents installed to stop speeding.

“I emailed the council a year ago and got a response from the mayor, but this is the closest anyone has ever come to being seriously injured.”

The crashed Tesla is shown being transferred to a truck for removal from the scene.

Even though the speed limit in the area has been lowered to 40 km/h, locals say more needs to be done.

“There is no crosswalk… It is a very dense residential area and there is nowhere for people to cross safely,” Goodman said.

“We need a speed bump before someone is seriously injured…please take the opportunity to prevent (a serious accident) and avoid acting when it’s too late,” said Ms Goodman.

‘I don’t understand why they don’t want to fix the problem.’
