Not my video – but I did see the aftermath while waiting for a train at the station and had been wondering what happened…
Edit: better title would be Coles Turramurra crazy *car* not Driver as yes, it's entirely possible the driver had not much control over what happened.

That looked expensive.
Some crackhead. Hopefully they’ll be locked up
Wowsers this sort of thing happens to me in dreams. I think I’m pressing the brake but he car keeps accelerating.
That’s a foot/shoe stuck on the accelerator or a mechanical fault. It doesn’t look intentional.
I’d hate for my shit day to end up on reddit and someone calling me crazy.
Sometimes you just need to floor it in reverse, can’t blame them
The poor guys voice at the end with the baby in the car… 😩
I hope the driver is ok.
It may have been a medical episode.
I watched a guy outside my office have a medical episode while parking, he totalled his Mercedes, the BMW behind him and the Hyundai in front (which was pushed into the car in front)
Looks like the result of a cardiac event or stroke. Hope everyone involved was alright.
Like a glove
Probably an old person thinking they’re pressing the brake
“Not that brake, the OTHER brake”
Woah, this happened in other countries as well and they call it Sudden Unintended Acceleration. Whether it’s SUA or the driver just pedal hard the accelator, I hope everyone was ok.
pressing hard on reverse causes acceleration, which causes foot to press on accelerator pedal harder….
Bring back manuals….
Well, Coles Turramurra used to be my ‘local’ and it had the same effect on me, so there’s that.
The name’s Bond. James Bond.
I worked in bars and bottle shops for 14 years. Ive seen some shit. But the most terrifying was a drunk driver pedal to the fuckin metal on the accelerator at 7pm on a Saturday in the car park during a busy dinner period. Totalled 5 or 6 cars. Witnessed the whole thing because right before he hit the gas he drive through the bottleshop where I was and waved at me.
I had to go find the Audi owner their car was absolutely totalled. He was having dinner in the bistro with his family. If they were finished and getting into their car at the time someone would have been killed that night.
Just gotta let your hair down sometimes
WTF.
That car park and street parking near Coles and Chemist warehouse is dire.
