A caller to 3AW has described the scene. This is some of what they said:
“It’s just a suburban street, a car has mounted the footpath. There’s four ambulances there, police galore, and all the roads are blocked off. It’s quite horrendous.
“I did not see it, but a neighbour of mine was there. Then the car took off, down the park near the playground, a person ran off, and that’s why the helicopters have been going around.
“The roads are all still blocked off. No one can go down there.”
