A NURSE says she cheated death after a driverless four-wheel-drive and trailer crashed through the front windows of an Endeavour Hills clinic last Wednesday.
Mona Riba, who works at Healthcorp Pathology at Endeavour Hills Specialist Clinic, said she had less than a second’s warning before the vehicle crashed into the treatment room.
While she had just enough time to take cover in an adjoining room, Ms Riba’s shocked patient was still in a chair as the crash happened.
“When it was over, she was sitting there with a brick that landed on her arm,” Ms Riba said. “The police couldn’t believe we came out alive. No one believes it.”
The four-wheel-drive had rolled about 350 metres downhill from a ground-level parking bay at Endeavour Hills shopping centre about 9.15am, crashing through bollards, over a skate park ramp and a grass verge.
Somehow during its journey, the vehicle did a right-hand-turn across Raymond MacMahon Boulevard, flattening the clinic’s security fence and coming to rest in one of its treatment rooms.
