A MAN says he “swerved to miss a kangaroo” on Nepean Hwy, Seaford, 4am, Saturday 25 June – and he had not been drinking!
His Kia Sorrento’s brakes locked in the 70kph zone, causing the man to crash into a parked Toyota Rav 4 and roll his own. Both cars were written off in the accident, with the Kia’s curtain airbags being deployed and it finishing up on its side in the left hand, south-bound lane.
The 30-year-old Cranbourne man, who escaped injury and was found to be not alcohol or drug affected, walked away from the crash near Seaford Rd but is likely to face careless driving charges.
Senior Constable Evan Mickle, of Frankston police, was told the kangaroo hopped across the road into bushland and disappeared. A wheelie bin was crushed.
