Dementia Blackout

5 years ago in Sydney, Australia

Driver failed to negotiate roundabout, driving straight on and through the fence without having touched the brakes. Fortunately some dense lantana acted like a catch net and caught the vehicle before it was poleaxed by a tree a little deeper on the property it crashed through. The driver was elderly and confused. He and his passengers suffered only minor injuries. The driver was not charged but had his license revoked on the grounds that he is no longer fit to drive due to dementia.
