    Pair of hot hatches flip on the same iconic Aussie road on the same day

    Within just a handful of hours, a Toyota GR Corolla and Audi S3 both rolled after crossing onto the wrong side of the same road.

    Rural Fire Brigade members had a busy few hours earlier this week, recovering two hot hatchbacks which had rolled in separate incidents within the Royal National Park.

    In a post on Facebook, the Otford Rural Fire Brigade uploaded images of the two incidents to the north of Wollongong – the first involving a Toyota GR Corolla, the second taking place that evening in an Audi S3.

    Both vehicles crashed on Lady Wakehurst Drive, a popular road for performance car enthusiasts due to its sweeping curves.

    According to the post, both vehicles had been travelling northbound on the road when the respective incidents occurred.

    In both incidents, the cars crossed into the oncoming lane and hit the embankment, causing them to flip.

    In each case, the fire crews provided fire protection and assisted with cleaning up the site after the cars were recovered by tow trucks.

    Unfortunately such incidents aren’t rare, with the frequency of cars crashing in the Royal National Park inspiring the Facebook page Help, I’ve binned my car in the Nasho.

    New South Wales police haven’t yet announced whether the pair of drivers will be charged with any driving offences.
